Win Some, Lose Somebody

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember when the only thing that mattered was friends Sixth Street, six speeds, and Katie had a crush on Ben We'd stare up at the sky and pretend That the summer after seventeen was never gonna end But dreams get big and circles get smaller Some count kids and others count dollars I just wish that none of that mattered 'Cause some lose grip while climbing that ladder [Chorus] Hey kid, you're gonna go far You're gonna hit big but break a couple hearts You wanna wake up with everything you need But when you win some, you lose somebody Hey kid, you're gonna be fine You're gonna take off but cut a couple ties It's gonna pay off, but nothing's ever free 'Cause when you win some, you lose somebody [Verse 2] I remember how we never thought we'd figure it out Writing stupid lyrics in the basement of my parents' house And look at where we're singing 'em now But the faces got a little less familiar in the crowd 'Cause life goes on and changes like seasons Some find God and others fight demons I just wish that none of that mattered But there's no way to stop and go backwards [Chorus] Hey kid, you're gonna go far You're gonna hit big but break a couple hearts You wanna wake up with everything you need But when you win some, you lose somebody Hey kid, you're gonna be fine You're gonna take off but cut a couple ties It's gonna pay off, but nothing's ever free 'Cause when you win some, you lose somebody [Bridge] Some doors close and others slam open Some lose faith and others keep hoping And that young gun who lived for this moment Well, I just wish that someone had told him [Chorus] "Hey kid, you're gonna go far You're gonna hit big but leave a couple scars You wanna wake up with everything you need But when you win some, you lose somebody Hey kid, you're gonna be fine (Be fine) You're gonna take off, but cut a couple ties It's gonna pay off, but nothing's ever free 'Cause when you win some, you lose somebody" [Post-Chorus] (Oh, woah) You lose somebody
