lyrics

Looking back at us is hazy
(I'll take it back)
Cuz I don't know what I was thinking
I've got your attention
You've lost all of mine
Give up on who you are
And give in every time
I've been thinking of some big changes lately
And they have to do with you
They have to do with you

It's safe to say that I was second place
And I can do better than this
I can do better than this
Because I didn't go to ND
You think you're better than me
You won't do better than this
You know money isn't everything

I call it how I see it
I pick you up
You hold be down
As these waves crash on me
Your hand is relentless
I'm helpless
Or so you'd like to think
Stuck in this rut you dug
I'm sorry it's not true
Simply put I can't stand you

I've been thinking of some big changes lately
And they have to with you
They have to do with you

It's safe to say that I was second place
And I can do better than this
I can do better than this
Because I didn't go to ND
You think you're better than me
You won't do better than this
You know money isn't everything

You know
Money isn't everything

You don't gotta lie to kick it
You don't gotta lie

I'll raise my glass and preach this false cliche
That we'll all stay the same
But deep down who doesn't wanna change?
I just thought you'd never be
Every frat boys dream
You know that never really did it for me

If all these standards are just lines in the sand
Then I hope the tide comes up and washes everything you've written away
