Things Are Gonna Get Better

Growing up, parents got me a guitar Said, "You can do anything, kid, you can go far You can be the president, fireman, race cars The sky's the limit, kid, so, shoot for the stars" So, I strummed that guitar every day Found a passion for music, never went away I joined a couple bands and played a few shows Tried to impress the girl in the front row But soon enough everything starts to change As you grow up, nobody treats you the same They try take your future and make it real safe You could be a doctor, accountant or something sane But yo, what ever happened to "The sky was the limit?" I fell in love with music, never thought it was a gimmick I worked so hard on every tune and every single lyric My whole identity dependent on being artistic Now you want to strip that away, so you feel okay? 'Cause if I make it to the top, what does that really say? That you shouldn't have given up, that you made the mistake But if I fail you feel much better 'bout picking your lane, right?
