First Born Lyrics

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
