The Late Show Lyrics by Evan Honer
If I get my act together
I could finally have a good day
There’s some ties I need to sever
And some friends I wanna tether
‘Til I’m lying in the grave
If I bought a better mirror
I’d see me as a real man
My face would become clearer
I could grow a better beard
And I wouldn’t ever feel sad
If I let go of my ego
I’d be just like all my heroes
Write a good song
Play the Late Show
Then Jimmy laughs at my jokes
Then I’ll die young
In a mansion
I’d do it all, oh
If I let go
If I let go
Now that I pieced it all together
Things are looking upside down
I think I misremembered
A little off-center
Close to falling out
Been staring at the set
Been doing it for weeks
The answer’s right here
But I’m too fucking dumb to see it’s right in front of me
If I let go of my ego
I’d be just like all my heroes
Write a good song
Play the Late Show
Then Jimmy laughs at my jokes
Then I’ll die young in a mansion
I’d do it all, oh
If I let go
If I let go
So I’ll buy more shit
It makes me happier
If I push it all down
Well, that would have to work
If you loved me more
I wouldn’t still be in love with her
So I let go of my ego
Became just like all my heroes
I wrote a good song
Played the Late Show
It went exactly how I planned it to go
When I let go
‘Cause I let go
I just let go
So I let go
