My Very Best

What did I learn?

Life is a lousy school

Feel for the right words

Like steps from the swimming pool

I got in my head

I wish it was easy

Put on my cowboy hat

Lasso the future

And show you what's in the trap

As small as a mouse

And I could tell you

Not to be quite so kind

And I could tell you

How love and sadness rhyme

But I don't know

You're born into this mess

If I do my worst

If I do my very best

I did it all for you

I'm done being reckless

Making the stories that

Are good for a dinner

Deep down you know they're bad

For everything else in your life

I will go crazy

I'll carry all this weight

But nobody's burdened

In fact, baby you carbonate

The blood in my veins

And I could tell you

That Jesus won't come back

Or I could tell you

To keep the sweet faith you have

But I don't know

You come in all brand new

If my shadow's long

Don't let it fall on you

Yeah, I don't know

You're born into this mess

If I do my worst

If I do my very best

I did it all for you

I did it all for you

(I did it all for you)

(I did it all for you)
