Measure up, be enough to power through it when

The light ahead flickers dead and you can't see the end

Move along and let it fade into dust

Come on out, sing it loud, we'll pull you out of the rut

So here's to another day spent wasting good intentions

I'm fearing the worst if I can bring myself to mention

What goes up, must come down

Even the best seem to hit the ground

And sooner or later, you'll call me a traitor

I'll still have your back when you turn around

Looks like I've played myself again

Player one in a game I'll never win

Gripping tight to a sign of discontent

I wanna find what you hide undercover

Oh no, I fit the footprints in the sand

Whoa, I'm stuck and the cycle never ends

I'm stuck and the cycle never ends

Line me up here, side by side

To all the versions of myself I tried and failed to rise

I've gotta refine and stabilize

I'm sitting closer to the edge with every compromise

And there's no way to tell

Take each step with care, and hope for the best

But I won't get too comfortable or let my goals be shook

I can't just waste it away

Looks like I played myself again

Player one in a game I'll never win

Gripping tight to a sign of discontent

I wanna find what you hide undercover

Oh no, I fit the footprints in the sand

Whoa, I'm stuck and the cycle never ends

The cycle never ends

The cycle never ends

The cycle never ends

Looks like I played myself again

Player one in a game I'll never win

Gripping tight to a sign of discontent

I wanna find what you hide undercover

Oh no, I fit the footprints in the sand

Whoa, I'm stuck and the cycle never ends
