I spend every day in fear That I'll waste away my years All my peers begin careers And I just write these stupid songs Am I staying in one place 'Cause my head is up in space? I try to face this life with grace But I'm afraid of being wrong A hundred paths to choose But I'm scared of what I'll lose When I don't go down the other ninety-nine And they say jealousy is madness And the fastest path to sadness Is comparing someone else's life to mine
