Ahead of the Game Lyrics

I watched in anger as you skated on by

Not once did you make any effort to try

No doubt the journey was a fantastic one

But times of trial can mean an end to the fun

Drove around and unwound when we needed a fix

But your sound, yeah we found needed out of the mix

Joined a scene, young and clean, all the friends that we met

And the green was pristine, yeah we got our feet wet

Stayed up late, couldn't wait to take over the world

Shooting straight, wasn't fate, and the plan had unfurled

Now you're out with no doubt, hate to play it this way

But at the end of the day

You turned the tables

And you got left behind

Now you hang your head in all kinds of shame

The hardest part is

That you can't press rewind

Guess it pays to be ahead of the game

So long forgotten came the friendship before

But not forgotten was the slam of the door

Right in the face of what was shattered so fast

You were the windows at the scene of the blast

Came apart from the start in an obvious way

Like a dart to the heart, we're the hunters, you're prey

Choosing flight over fight was a cowardly act

Wasn't right, was a slight, that's a powerful fact

Now I bet you regret having made such a choice

Even yet, don't forget you were given a voice

So you're out with no doubt, hate to play it this way

But at the end of the day

You turned the tables

And you got left behind

Now you hang your head in all kinds of shame

The hardest part is

That you can't press rewind

Guess it pays to be ahead of the game

I fear you've already spent an eternity in your mind

Read every message you sent

But you have fallen so far away

You went all in on your parlay

The things we did and we said may never make sense

But moving on was the best for us all

You turned the tables

And you got left behind

Now you hang your head in all kinds of shame

The hardest part is

That you can't press rewind

Guess it pays to be ahead of the game

Ahead of the game

Ahead of the game

Ahead of the game
