...But We Try

If I set aside the money I spent

On dates that I forgot

I could buy myself a better place and

Pretend it's a new start

When the buzz of city lights wears off

And the furniture's in place

I'll be left with just a new backdrop

For familiar mistakes

I'll just stay for now

For now

Stop looking for signs

Darkness turns to daylight in time

Good things never last, but we try

We try

Been catching up with my old friends

Stay on their couch for the night

Introduce me to their girlfriends

Never can tell if they like me

A hundred first impressions this week

I'll fuck up ninety-nine

And the one that's unforgettable

Too drunk to call it mine

Wait just a minute

The drinks are kicking it

I'll just listen

To the track, I'm glad that you're back

But we're not eighteen anymore

And we're running out of slack, I miss you so bad

But I don't want to burn out early

When was the last time that we were both sober?

We kick the hangover, coffee takes over

Yeah, you're damn right, it's a drug

Can't get enough

Now I can't get nothing done

Without the feeling, the buzz in my blood

I can't have fun, in a rut

I'm too fucking patient with the mistakes I've been making

Complacent with breaking the promises made to myself

Stop looking for signs

Darkness turns to daylight in time

Good things never last, but we try

Good things never last, but we try

We try
