...But We Try

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Darkness turns to daylight in time
Good things never last, but we try
We try

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Darkness turns to daylight in time
Good things never last, but we try
Good things never last, but we try
We try
