[Verse 1]

Learned these four chords on my bedroom floor

Age 13 at the guitar store

Thought I could be famous, so I memorized my favorites

From Dashboard to Boston, even a Britney remix

Joined a couple bands, played a couple hundred shows

Earned a couple fans, let a couple albums flow

Nothing ever came of it besides losing all of my friends

Who sold my gear for drugs? That's the last I ever heard of them

[Chorus]

I'm a mediocre man

I'm a mediocre man

[Verse 2]

Found myself a girl, thought she was the one

Until the day she wasn't

Found myself another one

Girl number two, she's the gal for me

'Til it didn't work out, now I'm on girl number three

Not a lover, not a fighter

Not anything at all

Just a guy waiting to die

Counting money 'til it falls

At least I'm good at Twitter

More followers for me

When I'm in your city

Please, I don't wanna meet

[Pre-Chorus]

All you people watching think you know me

Think I'm free of baggage that you don't see

I am a child, I'm ignorant of wisdom

Will I ever be enough?

[Chorus]

I'm a mediocre man (I am not enough, I am not enough)

I'm a mediocre man (I'll never give up, no, I won't give up)

I'm a mediocre man

I'm a mediocre man

[Verse 3]

Started building companies

Working eighty-hour weeks

I need twice the time

To achieve the same amount of things

All my other peers

They're crushing it, you know?

Last year, they invited me on a trip to Cabo

[Bridge]

Lounging at the pool, knew my life was just a joke

Don't deserve the accolades, don't deserve to know

Why you gave me all the gifts

That I just keep on squandering

In Jesus name I pray one day

I'll figure out my purpose

[Chorus]

'Til then, I'm a mediocre man

I'm a mediocre man

I'm a mediocre man

I'm a mediocre man

But try, try, try, try again

I will and I can
