lyrics

Sometimes it just happens, you know?
Okay. I'm not gonna do that sound with my mouth. I can't do it. I can't do it anyway while I'm singing so I'm going to stop, I'm gonna cut that out.

*starts singing*

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. Now - I never - I never like, think about the tempo before I start playing. Like I think generally that's a good idea to do, to like think, "how fast does this go?" Cuz - I mean maybe that wasn't that off but I'm just not, I was not ready to start.

*starts playing*

I think I'm gonna play Tryouts again with the, with the fancy drum after this. And then we're gonna watch Stuck. And then we're gonna - then I'll show you the CD. And then we're gonna be done. It's exciting. And then my album comes out, at, tonight, in...four hours. Four...Is that right? I forgot. Eight o'clock, four hours, midnight. Exciting, exciting stuff. And then everyone can listen to it. Okay.

*starts singing*

I didn't think about the tempo again. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. And now I'm just pretending to look like I'm thinking about the tempo.
How do I actually like, decide? Okay, you know, it's fine. It's fine. I'm not I'm not worried about it. It's gonna be fine.

*starts playing*

Nope - I - the problem is once I started thinking about it, I overthink it which is probably why I've learned to not think about it. You know? You know? Yeah, that's that.

*starts singing*

What? Um. I'm sorry. This is uh, really awesome - this is the grand finale.

*starts singing*

Why do I just stop playing sometimes? Do you know what I mean? My hands are just like - mmm, no, I don't know what's going on.

I'll get through it, it's fine. Okay. You all have to believe in me. You have to believe in me. It says two people left. Two people don't believe in me. And I don't appreciate it. Because it'll just be that much more rewarding. Thank you. Thank you. This is actually performance art. This is a performance, the whole thing, it's an act, irony, okay.

Re-center, re-center. Okay

*starts singing*

Why do I - what's going on with my pinky? Do you know my pinky actually does kind of get stuck sometimes. Stuck and I'm stuck and I'm stuck and I'm stuck...
All my fingers. But usually it trips me up with guitar and not piano. Okay, we're - we're ready. I'm ready. I could, I could um, you know...this is. Hmm I was gonna say this is a sign from the universe that I should take my mini keyboard back out and use that. Even though it's not really like tuned, but it doesn't really matter because all the notes in relationship to each other are fine, but like I don't want to get it out, is the problem.
But I just I gotta - I'll do a different octave. Because now I'm just, now I'm just cursed

*starts singing*

Now my computer's saying that it's gonna run out because I think I unplugged my charger on accident again I'm really sorry about this but I did pretty good, I did pretty good until the song I think. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure that I did pretty good. Okay now we're good. Now the piano's not turned on? Guys I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry about this.
