Midnight Voices - Never Know (how to go) Lyrics

Every time I go out with my friends to bar
A voice in my head says tonight could be the night
I lock eyes with a girl dancing not too far
The voice says damn what a beautiful sight
My friends tell me Go! It's your time to be a star
Then the voice changes tune, and it says

I never know how to go
I never know what to say
I'll say I'm just moving slow
Now the time's got away
And I don't ever wanna feel like I'm missing out on a chance I should take
But I don't know how to go
And I don't know what to say
They say you know when you know
What if you know she got away
What if you never got a try
'Caus you were trying to behave
What if you end up dreaming about a chance you were never gonna take
How will you know when you know
If you don't even know her name

Now I'm staring down a mirror, got that fire in my eyes
A voice in my head says time to get out and fight
That was just a warmup, now I'm here for the prize
The voice says down your beer and go take back the night
I walk back out, now I'm ready to rise
Then the voice changes tune, and it says

I never know how to go
I never know what to say
I'll say I'm just moving slow
Now the time's got away
And I don't ever wanna feel like I'm missing out on a chance I should take
But I don't know how to go
And I don't know what to say
Now you know time's going by
With every breath you take
One step closer to the end
Another notch on the grave
One less moment to think about making that mistake
One less chance to feel or cry
One less heart you're gonna break

Now I'm standing in a corner trying not to cry
A voice in my head says just get out alive
Was it bad luck or did, I just not try
The voice says close your tab, your Uber gets here in five
Guess this wasn't quite the night, time for an Irish goodbye
Now the voice grows even louder, and it says

Why don't I know how to go?
Why don't I know what to say?
I can't say I'm just moving slow
'Caus the time got away
Why do I always feel like I'm missing out on the chance I should take?
Why don't I know how to go?
Why don't I know what to say?

I never know how to go
I never know what to say
I'll say I'm just moving slow
Now the time's got away
I know one morning I'll wake up feeling great saying this'll be the day
But that could be the day I die
Just a life that got away
