Tyler Jarvis - First Born

When I look back on my life
Can't help but wonder if I'd do it all a second time
Would I be farther along
Or is who I am the bed I went and made all on my own
I wish I'd been a better brother to start
I wish I hadn't taken arguments quite so far
Held my tongue more often than not
First born child gone walking in his thoughts
I was told that winners never quit
Now I try too hard to win
The things I said I won't forget
Leave my mind in seconds
Every minute that I've spent
Trying to figure out what's next
Never got me to what I thought was next
The world has rules to memorize
I can't help question what's the truth and where's the lie
I'm so afraid of being wrong
Play it safe and never take a step from where I started
I wish I never put a price on dreams
I wish I hadn't opened up and shared my hopes with fear
Looked for love instead of getting more stuff
Being first is so much harder than I thought
I was told that winners never quit
Now I try too hard to win
Things I said I won't forget
Leave my mind in seconds
Every minute that I've spent
Trying to figure out what's next
Never got me to what I thought was next
Then why do I still try to plan out my steps
If I lost this point of reference
Would I ever learn to dance
Would I ever learn how to take a chance
Is there purpose in the distance
Between what I thought and who I think I am
I was told that winners never quit
Now I try too hard to win
Things I said I won't forget
Leave my mind in seconds
Every minute that I've spent
Trying to figure out what's next
Never got me to what I thought was next
Then why do I still try to plan out my steps
