maybe
I'm still the rookie and give me a break
catching the breath between the asphalt and the rocks give me
time to think and maybe I'll
show you I'm not just silence and attempted compliance

maybe
there's still a while until the mistakes are fatal
and I can play around a little longer, learning the ropes and taking
the steps, never
too far or too fast until it must be and maybe I'll
prove I'm not just trying to catch up all the time

maybe
I'm still just biding my time
