OJR - Five Nights at Red Rocks Lyrics

Feel the competition every time I try to get away
"Did you hear they're playing Lolla' and some festy on a beach in Spain?"
I was headed there too, till the bottom fell out
And now it's all a sore thing I'm forced to think about
But I'm not hoping for their failure - I'm just wishing I could share the stage
The wishing and the hoping
The longing and the loathing
Are dragons in a paradise
If you're staring at their business
You'll miss what makes you brilliant
When jealousy is only self-doubt
Made to face the scoreboard every time I try to turn it off
"Did you hear they're playing Bonnaroo and five nights at Red Rocks?"
Well, I was on the wave too, till the sharks came out
Then it took a few years to get my feet on the ground
But I don't wanna cut you down - I just wanna pull myself back up
But the wishing and the hoping
The longing and the loathing
Are dragons in a paradise
If you're staring at their business
You'll miss what makes you brilliant
When jealousy is only self-doubt
It's a shroud
It's a shroud
It's a shroud
Of self-doubt
