Curtain’s Down! Throw in the Towel Lyrics by Proper. (USA)

I Spent the Winter Writing Songs About Getting Better

2019

[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 fuck up someone’s bound to make
But if you do then write one hell 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 shitty 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 ass out of myself under the spotlight
"Can’t top the last album, should’ve stayed an opening act"
$10 words in a $1 sentence, but with half the class 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?
