Tryingtogetby - Low Ceilings Lyrics

Is this what it's like getting older
Carrying all but my world on my shoulders
The reason that my back hurts
I think I'm running backwards
I forgot how to feel good feelings
Forever the young crazed peeling
My heart is now an empty building
With no doors and low ceilings

Im the rookie on the bench
That never had a chance
The feeling of regret when you don't ask her to dance
The dying hope for sunshine when your whole life has been grey
Has been grey
The song that was written
That never once was heard
The feathers pieced together
That never made a bird
The smile on your face
When you thought you had finally won
You never won

You're the crack in the sidewalk
No one noticed exists
The character that left the show
People don't realize they miss
Important as a prophet
You were played off as a fool
You're not a fool

I'm the lonely songbird that never got to sing
A metaphor for a loser, depressed human being
That one last gasp of air
Before we finally sink
We finally sink
Hold on to your loved ones
And those who never had a chance
Some of still waiting on hope for that dance
These songs are just scars
Played from shaking hands

Take nothing for granted
And give some of us a shot
Because when it comes down to it
We are all that we've got
Even when life is pain
It's better to have than have not
