lyrics

Though I still forget my cigarettes
an extra set of strings no I won't let
You in just yet I have learned some things

I'll try to be sincere
Try to be perfectly clear
I'll be fine right here
If you don't try to steer
My perfectly unsuccessful solo career

This ain't a pat on the back this ain't a Victory lap
Not even sure I've won but I'll take no crap
I'd rather take a nap its how I get it done

I'll try to be sincere
Try to be perfectly clear
I'll be fine right here
If you don't try to steer
My perfectly unsuccessful solo career

Celebrity can't steal beauty from the grips of the ordinary
I welcome being bored now that I'm living it down
And not living without the dreams I once ignored

I'll try to be sincere
Try to be perfectly clear
I'll be fine right here
If you don't try to steer
My perfectly unsuccessful solo career
