In a fresh summer haze, I haven't written a song in days
Though my notebook's full of half-baked ideas
For some reason, when I try I set my standards too high
Trying to be smarter than my peers
Don't try so hard it is not worth it
If you can't do your best do nothing at all
There is no sense in forcing innovation when you just hit a wall
With the lights on my back, I think I'm having a heart attack
Waiting to decide my own fate
What if my words are the worst they've ever heard?
Well I'm on stage now, it's far too late
Try too hard, I try too hard
