lyrics

As Good As Mine

I will look at you
tell me what your looking at
Haven't you ever seen the way the world
is strapped on one man's back

Yes I believe I'm still
very much alive
Been trying to climb this mountain
since the day that my daddy died

I will look at you
tell me what your looking at
Haven't you ever seen a desperate act
bring somebody back

I guess I'm not the only one
with death written on my pocket
I'm not supposed to read it till I reach
the top of this mountain

(refrain)
Nevermind
What I will go through
Nevermind
I'd gladly do it for you
Nevermind
I feel the fight
I'm gonna get it all
As good as mine

This might be a mission
to justify my existence
if I made my decision clearer
I would keep your distance

Yes I've been thinkin'
I should settle these old scores
yeah, but I have found out
that there's more

There is more to this
There is always more to...

This must be the top
Can I get any higher
This must be the top
My air has gotten thinner
This must be the top
All I've got is a chill
Greeting me snowballs
and can't be rolled back up its hill

(refrain)
Nevermind
I can't feel my hands
Nevermind
I'll take it as far as I can stand
Nevermind
I question stuff like
I'm gonna get it all
As good as mine

I will look at you
tell me what your looking at
Haven't you ever seen somebody ask
about the drawbacks

Scared of heights? Just spin around
hands thrown in the air
Watch out when the clouds come down
somebody shouts, "Get down from there!"

Nevermind
I can't see a thing
Nevermind
Maybe there is nothing to see
Nevermind
I forgot what I came to find
But I still get it all
As good as mine

Sometimes I'd give anything
Maybe I'd give everything
If I could get myself something worth keeping

I pull out daddy's note
See what it says
"Someday your day may come
but don't trade your life in for it"
