Things have been so crazy and hectic (crazy and hectic)
I shoulda gotten back by now (back by now)
But you know how much I wanted to make it (wanted to make it)
It's probably better anyhow (better anyhow)
So if you gotta go (gotta go)
If there's anything I should know (I should know)
If the spotlight makes you nervous (makes you nervous)
If you're looking for a purpose (for a purpose)

You put the tea in the kettle and light it
Put your hand on the metal and feel it (metal and feel it)
But do you even feel it anymore? (Feel it anymore)
I remember when you thought I was joking
Now I'm off singing karaoke (karaoke)
Further than I've ever been, oh whoa oh
So if you gotta go (gotta go)
If there's any way I can help (I can help)

Isn't it ironic that the girl I want to marry is a wedding planner
And tells me my life is too much and then moves to Atlanta?
Damn, of all the places you could go
I just thought you'd choose somewhere
That had somebody that you know
I'm always up too late, I worry 'bout you there alone
In that place you call your home, warm nights and cold Patrón
I hope you don't get known for nothing crazy
'Cause no man ever wants to hear those stories 'bout his lady
I know they say the first love is the sweetest
But that first cut is the deepest
I tried to keep us together, you were busy keeping secrets
Secrets you were telling everybody but me
Don't be fooled by the money, I'm still just young and unlucky
I'm surprised you couldn't tell

I was only trying to get ahead (get ahead)
I was only trying to get ahead (get ahead)
But the spotlight makes you nervous (makes you nervous)
And you're looking for a purpose (for a purpose)

I was only trying to get ahead (get ahead)
I was only trying to get ahead (get ahead)
But the spotlight makes you nervous (makes you nervous) Writer/s: Aubrey Graham, Francis Starlite, Noah Shebib
