Rose-colored boy I hear you making all that noise About the world you want to see And oh, I’m so annoyed ‘Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me
I’m a little bit worse for wear Got a little bit more grey hair I’m not gonna be the next big thing But I’m getting fitted for a new brass ring I’ve been dunked, I’ve been kicked around Now I’m ready for the big rebound I know you can’t win them all But I’m swingin’ like Pitt gettin’ hits in Moneyball
And I will work this body I will burn this flame Oh in the dead of night, and in the pouring rain Yeah, I’m a workaholic and I swear, I swear Yeah, and one day I will beat you fair and square
It’s been a long time living this way Worrying what people say Feeling like I don’t fit in But I won’t give up, no I won’t give in We’re looking for something more What you’re really looking for Has been with you since you were born Since you were born (you’re good)
