Im scared of always being your favorite
Im scared of always thinking I'm right
I hate the way that I've never been told I'm a champion
Never been in a fight
Promise me you'll stop getting older
Or better yet that you'll never die
I wanna stay on the far side of town where theres planes making noise all the time
& ill watch from the ground wide awake till the sound of their engines make me tired
& that hole in the ground that I dug for myself isn't deep enough so I Guess that ill see whats 23
But spilling your heart out
Making a memory
The harder you'll drink
The further you'll sink
You take the high road
Ill take eternity
Im sick of always being the greatest
Im terrified of people I like
Im jealous of them I feel sorry again for myself
Oh how nice
I wish I could be like my sisters
& take all my brothers advice
But nobody's home & my rooms growing cold cause I open my window at night
To watch from the roof as I search for some proof that the stars aren't satellites
& if that isn't true then I'm still 22 but that all changes tonight
So I guess that ill see whats 23
But spilling your heart out
Making a memory
The harder you'll drink
The further you'll sink
You take the high road
Ill take eternity

You never told me that I was a champion I know that I never was that good at fighting but fuck I still wish that you'd say it for once so that Id have a reason to throw the first punch In a fight we'd make one hell of a story tonight
Been sober for so long it feels like vacation I stopped getting high but I drink till Im wasted & I like to stay on the far side of town where theres planes making noise while I sleep on the ground cause Im tired of fighting but 23 will be the best round
You never told me that I was a champion I threw all my trophies away in the trash can & sat in my room while I tried to imagine the way it would feel when it finally happened & I think I finally won a fight
