Lyrics

Getting the Hang of Being a Failure

What kept me from flying
Other than the game was fixed?
Sure as Hell, I’m gonna keep trying
But it’s for me I’m doing it

I get that now
But I didn’t get it then
I’m leaning how
And I’m being super zen about it

I’m getting the hang of being a failure
There’s only so much one can do
I’d even say somehow it’s simpler
If no one expects anything of you

So I won’t play arenas
But then a smaller crowd will do
I Like a room where I can see ya
And to know who I’m singing to

I know that now
But I didn’t know it then
I’m leaning how
And I’m being super zen about it

I’m getting the hang of being a failure
There’s only so much one can do
I’d even say somehow it’s simpler
If no one expects anything of you

There’re so many people
I don’t have to meet
Vast amounts of shit
I don’t have to eat

I’d readily admit it
I’m still waiting for that call
The one from coach who says girl you did it
You made the team run with the ball

It hasn’t come yet
But someday it will
And like I said
I’m being super chill about it

I’m getting the hang of being a failure
There’s only so much one can do
I’d even say somehow it’s simpler
When no one expects anything of you

We’re an army of failures
And we’re coming to get ya
