Ready to Win (Acoustic)

I fucked up today, I fucked up before

I fucked up so much I can't keep track anymore

I fucked up on girls, I fucked up on songs

I fucked up on my sister, my dad, and my mom

I fucked up on everyone, I fucked up on me

I fucked up with money and, man, nothing is free

I fucked up on Letterman, I fucked up on stage

I fucked up on time and I fucked up too late

But now I am ready to win

I stand on a river, I stand on a stage

Hoping for glory, oh, maybe today

'Cause it's all a mistake and a beautiful mess

Like your next-door neighbor when you saw him undress

And I'll do it forever, do nothing but fail

A student of error can only prevail

'Cause learning is trying, and trying is hard

When it feels like falling will shatter your heart

But now I am ready to win

Yeah, now I am ready to win

So turn on the house lights, turn to your left

Shake hands with someone that you're sure to forget

Tell them they're great, tell them they're splendid

No matter how all of their fuck-ups have ended

Tell them they're free, from whatever happens

From all of the haters who need someone to slap them

Just go and fuck up, fuck up fucking up

Nothing but fucking up, never e-fucking-nough

And then you'll be strong, and then you'll be fearless

'Cause you've done it all and your tear ducts are tearless

And then you'll remember there's a dream in your heart

And a fire in your head, and permission to start

And from out of the silence, you'll hear your voice

Like a big fucking siren and you won't have a choice

And you will stand out, caution to the wind

And you will scream out that you are ready to win

Are you ready to win?

I'm ready

I'm ready

'Cause everyone's weak, and everyone's strong

And everyone's smart but usually wrong

And Rome wasn't built on a fucking cliche

And I love you all in the best fucking way

Fuck up like a pro, fuck up like a saint

Fuck up for the terrified people who ain't

'Cause the good things are hard and the hard things are good

You know I'd fuck up for you if I could

But now, you are ready to win

Yeah, now you are ready to win

Oh, baby, now you are ready to win

And now I am ready
