[Verse 1]

Every night I lie awake in bed

Thinking 'bout the words inside my head

Dreaming up a new way to improve this album

[Verse 2]

Wow, another day goes by without a hit, another day where no one gives a shit

Another day without a great idea, forgetting what it's like when life is real

'Cause I'm just wandering aimlessly, you said this would be painless, see, this whole damn album's s'posed to be a joke

[Link: Choir and Andy Goldberg]

Don’t give up

I’m trying not to

Don’t give up

Stop telling me that

Don’t give up

I’m trying not to

Don’t give up

[Verse 3]

Hey, I'm waking up at six A.M. today

It's been a while since I felt this way

I'm starting to believe we're gonna drop this album

Why? You must think I'm just another guy

I guess that this is really do or die

My vision's getting blurry and I need some answers

[Link: Choir and Andy Goldberg]

Don’t give up

I’m trying not to

Don’t give up

Stop telling me that

Don’t give up

I’m trying not to

Don’t give up

[Chorus]

Stop telling me to "find my path," 'cause it's a winding road

I gotta be someone before I make the show

And if you know the words to anything I write

You're a real fan, and 'cause of you we might say

[Link: Choir and Andy Goldberg]

Don’t give up

And 'cause of you we might say

Don't give up

[Breakdown]

And 'cause of you we might say "woah"

A lot of stupid things you'll never know

I know I haven't figured you out yet

Maybe I shouldn't let go

[Bridge]

One day will you know the words to my song?

One day will you turn our first album on and sing, 'cause you know how it goes?

One day you could have the key to my heart

One day we could all go back to the start and try to make this work

But I'm done

This should be fun

So call me when it is...

[Link: Choir]

Don’t give up, don't give up

Don't give up, don't give up

[Hook]

Don't give up now!

[Breakdown 2]

State Farm, where will you

If I was LeBron

Hey, nobody cares except me

Maybe they're not so bad

Right, you go left

I guess we're inconsequential

Singin, this one's for all the lucky ones out there

'Cause I'm comin' back for more

Oo-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-oo

[Outro: Choir]

Don't give up, don't give up

Don't give up
