[Intro] (Round electric bassline groove with warm keyboard stabs and light shaker percussion) (Laughs softly) Yeah... I’m tired of playing guessing games, Marcus. Let’s just see where this goes tonight. [Verse 1] Passed you the aux chord, played a beat I know you like Said "The studio can wait, let’s grab a bite tonight" You looked at me surprised, usually I just nod along Waiting on your signal like a patient background song I grabbed my denim jacket, told you "I’m in the driver’s seat" Pulled up to that corner spot on 10th Street Ordered us some wings, paid before you reached your pocket Showed a little side of me I used to keep in storage. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know if this is smart or if it’s gonna break I don’t know how many chances we’re allowed to take But standing right here, watching how you look at me I’m curious to find out what we’re supposed to be. [Chorus] Why don’t we just try it out? Stop acting like we got so much to figure out If it feels real good when the lights go down Why we gotta hide what we built in this town? Yeah, I'm trying it out, testing the floor Finding out if I want a little bit more No promises made, no reasons to doubt Let’s just take a breath and try it out. [Post-Chorus] (Yeah-yeah, try it out) Just a little more, see what we're about (Yeah-yeah, try it out) Gotta know for myself what I feel right now. [Verse 2] I told you straight up that I like the way you talk When you ain't trying to be the biggest boss on the block You kinda paused, then you smiled real wide Admitted you was nervous sitting by my side Felt good to speak my mind without apologizing first Without worrying if honesty would make the tension worse My heart was beating fast, thought my hands might shake But taking this risk is a risk I gotta make. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the whole future written on a page Don’t need to act older than my nineteen-year-old age I just know right now, standing in the evening air I have a say in what we’re gonna share. [Chorus] Why don’t we just try it out? Stop acting like we got so much to figure out If it feels real good when the lights go down Why we gotta hide what we built in this town? Yeah, I'm trying it out, testing the floor Finding out if I want a little bit more No promises made, no reasons to doubt Let’s just take a breath and try it out. [Bridge] (Instrumentation drops to a soft bassline, rimshot, and clean keyboard chords) I used to play it cool so you wouldn't run away Holding back my words, saving them for another day Spent hours in my head wondering what you need Instead of asking if this situation’s good for me... I’m not asking for a ring, I’m just being true I’m testing out my voice... while I’m testing out you. [Final Chorus] (Full mid-tempo R&B groove returns with stacked vocal harmonies and playful ad-libs) Why don’t we just try it out? (Oh, let's try it out!) Stop acting like we got so much to figure out If it feels real good when the lights go down (Feels so good, Marcus) Why we gotta hide what we built in this town? Yeah, I'm trying it out, testing the floor (Testing the floor, yeah) Finding out if I want a little bit more No promises made, no reasons to doubt Let’s just take a breath and try it out. [Outro] (Light percussion and bouncy bassline fading gradually) (Spoken playfully) So... you wanna get those wings to go, or what? (Laughs) Yeah... let's just see. (Fade out on bright synth chime)
