Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They say

"Come on

Don't be boring

Everybody's breaking what we used to keep"

Laugh while they tell their own stories

Flip every line till the wrong thing sounds deep

I stand in the kitchen doorway

Solo cup shaking in my hand

Nod like I'm in on the joke but

I don't quite understand

[Pre-Chorus]

Is it brave to be the loudest?

Is it weak to walk away?

If they're calling darkness progress

What am I supposed to say?

[Chorus]

When good is bad and bad is better

I'm stuck reading all these shifting letters

They twist the world till it looks brand new

But I still see the same old view

If up is down and down is winning

Do I change or stay at the beginning?

I'm just an average guy in this crowded room

Trying to decide what’s true

[Verse 2]

They post their rage like religion

Trending every thirty seconds flat

Smile for a picture

Then whisper

"Who cares who we step on for a laugh?"

I keep my comment in draft mode

Erase the joke before it lands

They clap for the clever and careless

I stare at my shaking hands

[Pre-Chorus]

Is it love if we’re performing?

Is it real if it’s for show?

If every line keeps on moving

Where can a quiet heart go?

[Chorus]

When good is bad and bad is better

I'm stuck reading all these shifting letters

They twist the world till it looks brand new

But I still see the same old view

If up is down and down is winning

Do I change or stay at the beginning?

I'm just an average guy in this crowded room

Trying to decide what’s true

[Bridge]

Maybe truth is not a thunderclap

Maybe it's small

And it whispers back

In how I talk to strangers

In what I do when no one claps (oh)

So if they call me foolish

For holding on to something clear

I'll take the quiet losing

Over the loudest lie this year

[Chorus]

When good is bad and bad is better

I'll keep reading through these crooked letters

They paint the world in a different hue

But I still reach for something true

If up is down and down is winning

I'll start over

Right at the beginning

Just one ordinary heart in a crowded room

Choosing what I’ll call true (yeah)

Choosing what I’ll call true
