[ Featuring James Zabloski ]
Here's to all the losers, here's to number two
Here's to lucky choosers, just like me and you
You never wanted the fame, I never wanted to win
You never want to give out, I never want to give in
Staring in the mirror of what I seem to be
The mediocrity
The mediocrity
I may not be the one they call the leader of the band
To cross the line in second place some may not understand
But it's my choice to run behind, and here is what I know
I'm farther than I thought I'd be with miles yet to go
This is my confession, this is how I plan
Not a famous singer, just an average man
To be a face in the crowd, and living life every day
My name is not in the news and maybe that is ok
There's a song about us that fame and money brings
That no one ever sings
No one ever sings
I may not be the one they call the leader of the band
To cross the line in second place some may not understand
But it's my choice to run behind, and here is what I know
I'm farther than I thought I'd be with miles yet to go
Under no illusion being something more
Heeding no conclusion to some internal war
I want to say it out loud, I feel the pain of regret
I wrote a song about life but haven't finished it yet
Rising from the middle between the here and now
But can you tell me how
Can you tell me how
Here's to all the losers, here's to number two
Here's to lucky choosers, just like me and you
You never wanted the fame, I never wanted to win
You never want to give out, I never want to give in
Staring in the mirror of what I seem to be
The mediocrity
