Don't overthink another song
You've written 3, but 2 were wrong
Get it through your head
You don't get paid more for being clever
And recognition doesn't fill the hole for long
The second verse could kill the tone
You overwrite in the undertow
I'm too undeserving
Of being called a writer
When I'm just journaling
Just giving words a place to go
Keep telling myself
Don't get too proud now
There ain't no rules
Just making sound now
You should just give it another day
You got a job and bills to pay
Maybe you're addicted to the way it feels
Maybe it's the only thing you know is real
Maybe you should write before the feeling gets away
I keep telling myself
Don't get too proud now
There ain't no rules
Just making sound now
I hope this time's not wasted
No selfish expectation
Of it being something
Somebody could hear
But time's evaporating
And other people waiting
But making sound's not on the schedule
When I'm too busy contemplating
Just let it out
I forget what I knew
I can't come down
I keep telling myself
Don't get too proud now
There ain't no rules
Just making sound now
