Lyrics
I once knew a guy who set the bar high
I'd never get close so I never would try
He can do his thing and I'll do mine
And bury the bar
When everything in life feels way too hard
Take your high hopes and put 'em in a car
Drive that car away real far
And bury the bar
If it's set too high just take it down
Send it on down to the bottom of the ground
Dig a little deeper so it can't be found
And bury the bar
When expectations are way too high
That's where our dreams all go to die
You only get one so live your life
Bury the bar
I once knew a guy who set the bar high
I'd never get close so I never would try
He can do his thing and I'll do mine
And bury the bar
Everybody else might long to be
A part of our society
But that place just isn't for me
So I'll bury the bar
When expectations are way too high
That's where our dreams all go to die
You only get one so live your life
Bury the bar
What is it worth when you always compare
Yourself to ones who don't care to be rare
When expectations are way too high
That's where our dreams all go to die
You only get one so live your life
Bury the bar
If looking up's too high for you
There's only one thing left to do
Grab a friend and shovel too
And bury the bar
The lower you get it to be
The more things you can now achieve
Above its where you wanna be
So bury the bar
I once knew a guy who set the bar high
I'd never get close so I never would try
He can do his thing and I'll do mine
And bury the
Bar
