Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You learn a couple things when you get to my age
Like friends don't lie, and it all tastes the same in the dark
When your vinyl and your coffee collection is a sign of the times
You're getting spiritually enlightened at twenty-nine
[Chorus]
So just give yourself a try
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
[Verse 2]
I found a grey hair in one of my zoots
Like context in a modern debate, I just took it out
The only apparatus required for happiness is your pain and fucking going outside
And getting STDs at twenty-seven really isn't the vibe
Jane took her own life at sixteen
She was a kid who had the box tattooed on her arm
And I was twenty-five and afraid to go outside
A millennial that baby boomers like
[Chorus]
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
[Verse 3]
And what would you say to your younger self?
Growing a beard's quite hard, and whiskey never starts to taste nice
And you'll make a lot of money
And it's funny 'cause you'll move somewhere sunny
And get addicted to drugs
And spend obscene amounts on fucking seeds and beans online
[Chorus]
So just give yourself a try
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give yourself a try?
Won't you give?
