proper (usa) - curtain's down! throw in the towel lyrics

[verse 1]
first off i’d like to say i won’t apologize for being so brash
it seems to get your attention, maybe a little bit of cash
to put in my gas tank to last the road a few days
’cause letting words speak louder than actions was just how i was raised
i failed to learn from my parents:
“if you got nothing nice to say, don’t speak at all”
but my favorite punk bands taught me to never take the fall
for every f-ck up someone’s bound to make
but if you do then write one h-ll of a song for every “honest mistake”

[chorus]
this is it, it’s it for me
i’ll spend my whole life under dull lights
’cause that’s where i want to be
you might think it’s a waste of time
how will i ever know if i don’t try?

[verse 2]
and second i’d like to say that this will be a lot different than my first show
i’m streets ahead of that kid you knew writing sh-tty songs 5 years ago
been doing it long enough to know what i should be expecting
but it still blows my mind to see kids pay for a show and spend the entire time texting
they say: “the music scene is dead” and “the crowd has died”, and “there’s always someone in the front row talking louder than i can even scream” – maybe he’s got something more important to say?
or maybe we’re just wasting their time on stage?
but if one person connects to just one thing i say
then that’s enough for me, ’cause we’re not just here to get paid

[chorus]
this is it, it’s it for me
i’ll spend my whole life under dull lights
’cause that’s where i want to be
you might think it’s a waste of time
how will i ever know if i don’t try?

[bridge]
and last but not least i want to thank you for being here tonight
to watch me make an -ss out of myself under the spotlight
“can’t top the last alb-m, should’ve stayed an opening act”
$10 words in a $1 sentence, but with half the cl-ss or tact
seriously, all of the doubt aside
i hope you don’t mind if i tell a few stories about my life
so buckle in, let’s see how it goes, whoah

[chorus]
this is it, it’s it for me
i’ll spend my whole life under dull lights
’cause that’s where i want to be
you might think it’s a waste of time
how will i ever know if i don’t try?
this is it, it’s it for me
i’ll spend my whole life under dull lights
’cause this is where i want to be
you might think it’s a waste of time
how will i ever know if i don’t try?

[outro]
this is it, it’s it for me
i’ll spend my whole life under dull lights
’cause that’s where i want to be
you might think it’s a waste of time
how will i ever know if i don’t try?
