[Verse 1]
I was on the line
Punched in, beat back, overtime
As the days go by
Just another year to hide behind
I was told in life
(I was told in life)
If you’re not first then you’re out of sight
And I bought the lie, a hundred times
Just to feel like a bigger man
(Tell me how that went)

[Pre Chorus]
Tell me how that went
Day after day, keep showin’ up
Just let the world go spinnin’

[Chorus]
For the first time in my life
It’s fine that I’m not perfect
Nobody’s fool
Nobody’s cool
It’s who you are

[Verse 2]
When I’m older and I’ve stayed on track
And death gets me with a heart attack
No more keeping up with the Joneses
Trimming hedges on the cul-de-sac
What’s a good life?
(What’s a good life?)
What’s your favorite thing you’ve done?
I will claim this final moment
As the ship hums on and on
[Pre Chorus]
Even when you’re gone
Day after day, keep showin’ up
(Maybe I have to)
Just the let the world go spinnin’

[Chorus]
For the first time in my life
It’s fine that I’m not perfect
Nobody’s fool
Nobody’s cool
It’s who you are
