About following your passions

lyrics

I tend to sell myself so short
while I feign so brave and self-assured
I'm a long way from the best of 'em, or am I?

You're stuck with the step stones to travel this way
assuming you still feel there's something to gain
I'd hoped for a rope but there's nothing to hold if we wait
So follow this or call it quits - redemptions born from consequence
the cold can pull my words out but never away

And I've seen more of the floor than the brights of her eyes
and though I've dug for causes in my jacket pockets I've
found nothing but my hands and a cure for my common sense.

So raise up your hands if you're haunted by doubt
and scream if you never believed in yourself
or lean on the wall if that's all you still want out of this
'cause this is your limit being told to get gone
I was 20 years old before I wrote my first song
The work won't come easy but dammit, it is what it is

And I've seen more of the floor than the brights of her eyes
and though I've dug for causes in my jacket pockets I've
found nothing but my hands and a cure for my common sense.

I tend to sell myself so short
while I feign so brave and self-assured
I'm a long way from the best of 'em, or am I
too scared to take a shot to believe
I'll beat what others lost to and I'll take bets
it all makes sense from afar.

I tend to sell myself so short
while I feign so brave and self-assured
I'm a long way from the best of 'em, or am I
too scared to take a shot to believe
I'll beat what others lost to and I'll take bets
it all makes sense from afar
from failure as success I've got hard-fought
heart strings in my chest and they pull me towards
a better war than the last

And I've seen more of the floor than the brights of her eyes
and though I've dug for causes in my jacket pockets I've
found nothing but my hands and a cure for my common sense.
