You make your list then don't look up

For the better part of 30

Power through what you're supposed to

Hopin' that you'll wake up happy

The fire from the finish line

You finally stick the landing

That fear of looking back to be

The only one left standing

From here you look so far ahead

From there I am the clearest winner

Argue 'til we can't decide

Screaming, this looks charming from the outside

To focus on the future that remains uncertain

To worry you'll become your friends' next missing person

You'll find me at the end of Grand Street by the fences

Between the water and the factories that have become houses

From here you look so far ahead

From there I am the clearest winner

Argue 'til we can't decide

Screaming, this looks charming from the outside

This looks charming from the outside

Don't want to seem ungrateful

But the bar can never be set high enough

I like the house we built of all life's limitations

Should I just scrape my knees to lower expectations?

From here you look so far ahead

From there I am the clearest winner

Argue 'til we can't decide

Screaming, this looks charming from the outside

You know I'd better stop comparing

(This looks charming from the outside)

It all looks better in the movies

(This looks charming from the outside)

If you'd be better off without me

(This looks charming from the outside)

You know I'd better stop comparing
