It came across my mind
Strangely all the time
Disappointment calms me
 
No one I want to beat
There’s comfort in defeat
I’m out of competition
 
I found a silver dime across that line
Made me turn around this time
Made me wander for a while
I can’t seem to stop the hunt
But it’s different gold I want
....can't let it go
 
I run without a sound
Let the game begin, my finest hour
Been beaten on the line
It gave me peace of mind
I came in second to you, just behind
Untill the gold is mine
I’ll sing for Massachusetts
I’ll sing for Massachusetts all the time
 
The one who’s scoring fast
Sometimes ends up last
Can’t tell ‘till the game’s over
 
My win won’t be fake
When I’m gonna take
The road of most resistance

A wound without a fight
Maybe I just might
Let it out of sight
