Lyrics

How’d I get this stuck inside my head

Used to dream just for the fun of it

Barefoot, tall grass, no high expectation

Heart wide open without reservation

Now it feels the walls are closin in

Suffocated by comparison

I’m always having something to prove

Even when I win I still lose

Every time I cross the finish line

I find a new one on the other side

Wish I could have it both ways

Learn the art of how to celebrate

Cause chasing after first place

Not why I started in the first place

When did I stop singing for myself

Trying to show up everybody else

If I reach every milestone I aim for?

Will I be happy or will I still want more?

Cause either way, yeah something’s gotta give

Striving after perfect, is no way to live

I’m always having something to prove

Even when I win I still lose

Every time I cross the finish line

I find a new one on the other side

Wish I could have it both ways

Learn the art of how to celebrate

Cause chasing after first place

Not why I started in the first place

Ooh

Not why I started in the first place

Ooh

Ooh

I’m always having something to prove

Even when I win I still lose

It was never bout the finish line

But the people who are by your side

Think I could have it both ways

Learn the art of how to celebrate

Cause chasing after first place

Not why I started in the first place

Chasing after first place

Not why I started in the first place
