I guess I should be happy for them
There are smiles, celebrations and announcement
Of traveling and buying rings
Loving their jobs and what that means
For their truth, their goals and happiness
I’ll raise my glass from the hardwood floor
Trying to pinpoint when getting up became a chore
I look for answers in my palms
Throw the 8-ball at the wall
Check the patterns on the ceiling for a sign
What will get my mind
Off this losing streak tonight
Seems like everything is happening
To everyone except for me
And I don’t believe
That life’s a lottery
But I’ve been won over by losing
I’ve embraced the renegades
Of society’s rules and expectations
It’s just that I didn’t quite
Self-discipline and use my time
To get my name with the greats
In the hall of fame
So I go on, looking for shooting stars
Trading in all five of my cards
If I don’t play, I can’t complain
What will get my mind
Off this losing streak tonight
Seems like everything is happening
To everyone except for me
And I don’t believe
That life’s a lottery
But I’ve been won over by losing
I’m sensing a change of wind
That’s my ship, it’s coming in
Nothing can go wrong in a daydream
But it makes it hurt to see reality
What will get my mind
Off this losing streak tonight
Seems like everything is happening
To everyone except for me
And I don’t believe
That life’s a lottery
But I’ve been won over by losing
