Mediocre at Best by Cowabunga! Lyrics
I make the worst impressions that reflect upon myself
I'm a lost cause for a reason that I hoped in better health
And you’ve been trying to cut me down just to get a step ahead
But you're walking on backwards, getting closer to the edge
And it's the more that you doubt me, the less that I fear
Put me in water and watch me grow
I’m not a banker but I've got my weight in gold
So build me right up so I can take myself back down
I'm holding my confessions that you were the best thing around
And you'll snowball the arguments to make yourself seem great
But your loyalty's distasteful waiting for the lies to fall in place
You know that I will hold my ground, and dig my roots in deep like trees
This story has no happy ending, I guess it's your tragedy
Put me in water and watch me grow
I'm not a banker but I've got my weight in gold
So build me right up so I can take myself back down
I’m holding my confessions that you were the best thing around
And it’s just so fitting to see you pushing through
The obstacles a test with the answers you can't undo
The words will travel fast, whispered from ear to ear
You’re throwing rocks at glass, but it's bullet proof my dear
Your feet in the air, and your head on the ground
You ain't going no where cause you're upside down
When you sit in the throne feel the weight of the crown
And you know that you’ll never be found unless you make yourself come around
When you're all alone and you wish you had me now
Well you should have known, instead of asking how you threw it all away
Just keep wishing for that lucky day
And you're built as strong as paper that's blowing in the wind
Thrown out in the rain trying to get a chance back in
You've been getting on my nerves and you're starting to be a pain
I guess that I'll cut the tension cause you've only got yourself to blame
I'm a lost cause for a reason that I hoped in better health
And you’ve been trying to cut me down just to get a step ahead
But you're walking on backwards, getting closer to the edge
And it's the more that you doubt me, the less that I fear
Put me in water and watch me grow
I’m not a banker but I've got my weight in gold
So build me right up so I can take myself back down
I'm holding my confessions that you were the best thing around
And you'll snowball the arguments to make yourself seem great
But your loyalty's distasteful waiting for the lies to fall in place
You know that I will hold my ground, and dig my roots in deep like trees
This story has no happy ending, I guess it's your tragedy
Put me in water and watch me grow
I'm not a banker but I've got my weight in gold
So build me right up so I can take myself back down
I’m holding my confessions that you were the best thing around
And it’s just so fitting to see you pushing through
The obstacles a test with the answers you can't undo
The words will travel fast, whispered from ear to ear
You’re throwing rocks at glass, but it's bullet proof my dear
Your feet in the air, and your head on the ground
You ain't going no where cause you're upside down
When you sit in the throne feel the weight of the crown
And you know that you’ll never be found unless you make yourself come around
When you're all alone and you wish you had me now
Well you should have known, instead of asking how you threw it all away
Just keep wishing for that lucky day
And you're built as strong as paper that's blowing in the wind
Thrown out in the rain trying to get a chance back in
You've been getting on my nerves and you're starting to be a pain
I guess that I'll cut the tension cause you've only got yourself to blame
