when your aim is for perfection
and you aim in one direction
when you brain just can’t keep up
and you only hear “it’s not enough”
when you feel like nowhere’s coming
and it’s coming way too fast
when you feel like only first place
but you always ever end up last

you’ve got to give yourself
a little room to breathe
a little time to think
and a little time to live

you’ve got to give it time
and make this moment count
because if you were to die tonight
can you say what it’s about
