Well I’ll make you a promise I’ll be brutal fucking honest

A song isn’t creative cuz you mention Dylan Thomas

And why waste words just saying shit that you don’t even mean

So you say that you’re a poet and your lyrics really show it

You recorded in your bedroom cuz you didn’t wanna blow

So don’t pay attention to the audio quality

You can make excuses but you still gotta try

So keep your eyes on the prize

It’s just a matter of when

Even when you can’t fall asleep 

Thinking bout the other people who are making it cuz you’re not them

Well you can look for a sign

For someone to send

But even when you’re luck’s run out for the last damn time

And it feels like the deadest end

It’s just around the bend

Well it’s just you and your guitar you don’t need anyone so far

And you play the same old songs about a girl that broke your heart

And tell yourself that everybody wants the sadboi flavor

So you book a couple shows and you ask your friends to go

And maybe people come but they’re all people that you know

And you can’t help but wonder if they’re only doing you a favor

You can make excuses but you still gotta try

So keep your eyes on the prize

It’s just a matter of when

Even when you can’t fall asleep 

Thinking bout the other people who are making it cuz you’re not them

Well you can look for a sign

For someone to send

But even when you’re luck’s run out for the last damn time

And it feels like the deadest end

It’s just around the bend

I rearranged my room today

Sometimes you need just a little change

So I moved my bed to the window side

When I rest my head I can see the morning light

It was all so simple 

A small shift I know that it’ll make it better at night

I moved my bed to the middle

And I feel alright, yes I feel alright

I called my hometown friends today

We talked for hours while playing video games

Well we ain’t done that for a good long while

They were cracking jokes, I was cracking a big ol’ smile (smile!)

It was all so simple

A small shift I know that it’ll make it better at night

I called my friends for a little

And I feel alright, yes I feel alright

Well I didn’t know that I could make it all better

With nearly nothing at all

And it’s funny how the biggest things

Are so damn small

I bought some food to cook today

A little coffee and a thick 8oz filet

Well I got what I needed from the grocery store

Then I grilled that steak like I’ve never ever done before

It was all so simple

A small shift I know that it’ll make it better at night

I cooked a steak on the griddle

And I feel alright, yes I feel alright

I feel alright, yes I feel alright
