I spend every day in fear
That I'll waste away my years
All my peers begin careers
And I just write these stupid songs

Am I staying in one place
'Cause my head is up in space?
I try to face this life with grace
But I'm afraid of being wrong

A hundred paths to choose
But I'm scared of what I'll lose
When I don't go down the other ninety-nine

And they say jealousy is madness
And the fastest path to sadness
Is comparing someone else's life to mine
