lyrics

I've been a little bit busy
and a little bit lazy
but I'm always hungry for more
finding new things to try for

I put too much on my plate
because it looked delicious
now my whole world's running late
and the guilt is vicious
but I'll always be someone who tries
and forgives, and tries again

I've got a lot of excuses
and I'm feeling so useless
because it's hard to recall
if I've ever done anything at all

I bit off more than I could chew
because it looked delicious
how much can one person do?
apparently not quite this much
but I'll always be someone who tries
and forgives, and tries again

There is a version of me
I'm always chasing after
whenever I get closer
I imagine her faster

Whether I'm winning or losing
I need to love what I'm doing
and I should let myself rest
so I don't die from the stress

I'm such a slow learner
by this time I should know
how to use the back burners
time to cook that shit on low
maybe take a few pins and put 'em in
come back to it later
I could lower the bar just a bit
I'm still a creator
and I'll always be someone who tries
and forgives, and tries again
