[Intro] Hey. I'm trying. ... Just not that much. Let's establish Reasonable expectations. [Verse 1] Got out of bed That's one for me Pants on correctly Two for three Answered a text Within a week Basically operating At peak efficiency Made a little list Lost the list Remembered two things That were probably on it Did one immediately Other one's... Still developing. Don't look at me like that I showed up. Nobody specified Enthusiasm. [Pre-Chorus] I could give A hundred and ten But mathematically That's already suspicious You get what I've got And today? Honestly? This is ambitious. [Chorus] HEY, I'M TRYING JUST NOT THAT MUCH I GAVE IT MY BEST AVAILABLE STUFF NOT MY BEST BEST LET'S NOT GET WEIRD THAT GUY ONLY COMES OUT LIKE TWICE A YEAR HEY, I'M TRYING THAT'S GOTTA COUNT I'LL CLIMB YOUR HILL JUST NOT THE MOUNT I'M DOING ENOUGH TO KEEP THINGS MOVING DON'T CONFUSE LACK OF SUFFERING WITH LACK OF IMPROVEMENT [Verse 2] Everybody says "Give it your all" Why? What happens tomorrow If I use it all? Seems shortsighted. Poor inventory management. I'm keeping a little In strategic reserve For emergencies Snacks And whatever The fuck happens Thursday. I'm not quitting. I'm pacing. There's a difference. One gets inspirational music The other gets A disappointing look From management. [Pre-Chorus] Could I push harder? Absolutely. Could I dig deeper? Probably. Could everybody Calm the fuck down For like Five minutes? Also probably. [Chorus] HEY, I'M TRYING JUST NOT THAT MUCH I GAVE IT MY BEST AVAILABLE STUFF NOT MY BEST BEST LET'S NOT GET WEIRD THAT GUY ONLY COMES OUT LIKE TWICE A YEAR HEY, I'M TRYING THAT'S GOTTA COUNT I'LL CLIMB YOUR HILL JUST NOT THE MOUNT I'M DOING ENOUGH TO KEEP THINGS MOVING DON'T CONFUSE LACK OF SUFFERING WITH LACK OF IMPROVEMENT [Verse 3] Used to think Everything mattered Every little thing Needed maximum effort Then I noticed Maximum effort Mostly creates A person Who needs to lie down. So now I choose My battles carefully Some get passion Some get strategy Some get "Eh. That's probably fine." And you know what? A shocking percentage Of civilization Continues to survive . [Bridge] [beat drops] I'm not saying Don't care. Care. That's nice. I'm saying Maybe don't turn Every Tuesday afternoon Into the final round Of Rocky fucking Four. Sometimes Good enough Is— [pause] Actually... Yeah. Good enough. That's why They named it that. [beat returns] [Final Chorus] HEY, I'M TRYING JUST NOT THAT MUCH I'M GIVING TODAY TODAY-SIZED STUFF SAVE SOMETHING BACK FOR WHEN SHIT GETS ROUGH YOU DON'T NEED TO DESTROY YOURSELF TO PROVE YOU GAVE ENOUGH HEY, I'M TRYING LOOK AT ME GO MODERATE SPEED SUSTAINABLE FLOW I'M DOING MY BEST— AVAILABLE BEST— AND IF THAT AIN'T ENOUGH? ... THAT SOUNDS LIKE TOMORROW’S TEST. [Breakdown] Did I show up? YEP. Did I try? YEP. Did I give it everything? ... Whoa. Nobody said Anything about everything. [Outro] Hey. I'm trying. Just not that much. [pause] I'm comfortable With this arrangement. [Final Note]
