The Rivalry Game

I grew up with romantic visions like my life was feature film

I'd settle my unfinished business with supernatural acts of will

All the things I loved the best would be things I was born to do

Embrace ambitious expectations and I'd live up to 'em too

When that dreaming don't come true you quickly turn to feeling old

You never thought of nothing else, but you have to now you're told

Compartmentalize shortcomings, get you something else to do

Find your niche and make it quick this world won't wait around for you

And I've heard as you get older you mature and find yourself

But that just feels like surrender, settling for something else

And I know I can't go back to fix the things that turned out wrong
