title: we ain’t as good Spoken intro: I hate to admit this y’all. I think the boys and I just ain’t good like we used to be. Here’s to the glory days… *Verse 1* Sun's comin' up and I'm still on this screen, Same four of us, same old routine, But somethin's different, somethin's slow, We used to be sharper, I don't know *Verse 2* Used to clear a lobby, used to run the map, Now we're laughin' just to cover up the gap, Between who we were and who we've become, Older now, and slower, everyone *Chorus* This ain’t COVID no more, maybe that's the truth, Maybe the reflexes belonged to youth, And it hurts a little, more than it should, Realizin' maybe we ain't as good, As we used to be, back when the world was small, And nights didn't feel like nothin' much at all *Verse 3* Nate don't hear the footsteps like he did, I miss my shots I never used to miss, Landry’s got a job now, plays an hour if he’s lucky, And Esh don’t play every night, I feel like we get' sucker-punched *Verse 4* It ain't really about the score no more, It's about rememberin' what we had before, When four hours felt like twenty minutes flat, And nobody cared about nothin' after that *Chorus* And maybe we ain't young no more, maybe that's the truth, Maybe the reflexes belonged to youth, And it hurts a little, more than it should, Realizin' maybe we ain't as good, As we used to be, back when the world was small, And nights didn't feel like nothin' much at all *Bridge (quiet, almost spoken)* I don't wanna let it go, Don't wanna watch it fade real slow, This dumb little thing that kept us close, Matters more than these boys probably know *(pause)* We ain't got the aim we had, We ain't got the time we had, But we still show up, still log on, Even though the magic's mostly gone *Final Chorus (softer, fading)* Maybe we ain't young no more, maybe that's alright, Maybe losin's fine if we're still up at night, Talkin' 'bout nothin', laughin' at the L, Some things stick around even when you fall off, well— *Outro* We used to be good at this, We used to be good at this, Guess some things you just gotta miss, We used to be good at this
