Lyrics
[Verse]
I woke up at five to beat the sun.
I mapped out the day before it begun.
Checked every box and I cleared every line.
I promised myself that this year I’d shine.
But the car wouldn't start and the coffee went cold.
The same tragic story that’s getting so old.
I reach for the top just to slip on the floor.
I don't even know what I’m trying for.
[Chorus]
Give it my all just to watch it fall.
I’m back at the start with my back to the wall.
Number one dreamer.
Bottom of the list.
Everything I touch turns into mist.
Number one dreamer.
Bottom of the list.
[Verse]
I studied the books until my eyes turned red.
I practiced the words that I should have said.
I stepped on the stage with a grin and a plan.
Ready to prove I’m a successful man.
Then I tripped on a wire and forgot every word.
The loudest silence that I’ve ever heard.
I’m a master of trying, a genius of grief.
The king of a mountain that’s built out of sand.
[Chorus]
Give it my all just to watch it fall.
I’m back at the start with my back to the wall.
Number one dreamer.
Bottom of the list.
Everything I touch turns into mist.
Number one dreamer.
Bottom of the list.
[Bridge]
Maybe the ladder is missing a rung.
Maybe the songs have already been sung.
I’m sprinting so fast but I’m losing the race.
Just a permanent smile on a losing face.
[Chorus]
Give it my all just to watch it fall.
I’m back at the start with my back to the wall.
Number one dreamer.
Bottom of the list.
Everything I touch turns into mist.
Number one dreamer.
Bottom of the list.
[Outro]
