lyrics

I'm finally almost comfortable in my own skin
And I think I'm proud of who I am
I faced the wrath of my own demons
Watched the world change with the seasons
And picked myself back off the floor again

I faced reality and lived to tell
That there's more sorrows than tomorrows at the bottom of the well
Realized the world don't turn around me
And the sun will burn without me
And the stars have nothing left to foretell

I found a fountain full of promises and I passed it up
To live forever without meaning just won't ever seem enough
I've got a lifetime left to see the earth
To find the light, to feel my worth
It's time i stopped relying on my luck

If at first you don't succeed, they say to try again
Or so the story's gone for many years, passed down from many men
For if there's anything I'm proving
To keep your balance you must keep moving
Just keep swimming, you'll be winning in the end.
