lyrics

Cause I started my life with the biggest of dreams (of dreams...)
and you are sitting here listening to me (to me...)

Have all my decisions come from immaturity?
have all my decisions come from insecurity
and if that's the case then what am I still doing here unable to discontinue my fear
well I'm typing these words on a computer
cause I started my life in the biggest of dreams (of dreams...)
and you are sitting here listening to me

and I woke up one day in Omaha
with my sister's hands on the back of my head saying go that way
I told her to be quiet but it never reached her ears
so I'm sitting here sitting here can't discontinue my fears

Well in Omaha I learned to listen to Bright Eyes
where the emo spirit crept through my soul
and I never actually went anywhere I just got off the plane and I stood and I stared
all my life has been is a progression of songs

and I can't continue (continue...) this fear (this fear...)
cause I started my life in the biggest the biggest of cheers (of cheers...)
and I hope one day to be on the stage and celebrate Brooklyn
well one day, I don't care I don't care as long as I'm here
as long as I'm here today
as long as I'm here today

Well I don't know what even the word means careers (careers...)
no I don't know what even the word means careers (careers...)
you may say it's because I'm a millennial
you may say it's because I am white
you may say it's because I'm a jew or Jesus or anything other than bright

But really it's because

When I was young I got struck by the chord progression

When I was young I got struck by the chord progression

and I'm not willing to submit to anybody losing it
hell no I'm not willing to submit to anybody losing it
cause I know that
if I did then
I'd be submitting to capitalism
well everybody's here in the world together (together...)
everybody's doing their own thing, everybody's doing their own thing
and they don't give a shit about me

and I can just think that I'm the best in the world
until I go see someone that's better than me
and if competition is a thing well,
I'd better get going

Cause I started my life in the biggest the biggest of dreams (of dreams...)
and you are sitting here listening to me (to me...)

Ohhh...
