Give it All You've Got
Are you ever gonna feel like you belong
Singing sour notes through the sweetest song
Afraid someone's shining a spotlight on
All you dreamt you were due in the dark
Are you ever gonna let the sweet breeze in
The windows you closed unbolted again
Let your uneasy feelings float off in the wind
And realize that you've come so far
The day is here, the time is now
You gotta find a little light through the fog somehow
Pick your battles, choose your spots
You only got one life to live , give it all you've got
Your 800 miles away again
From something resembling settling in
With your frenzied mind and too few friends
You lie that you like it that way
Will You ever be good enough for yourself
Instead of wrapped up with trying to please everyone else
All the while chipping away at your chance , your heart and your health
Dreaming it will be different someday
When you're feeling mean and in-between
Last years model and an empty bottle
Starting over don't come with a guarantee
But sitting still when you know it's over
Is sad cant you see you're just one step closer
To settling for something less
Than what your life could be
