Tending to Turn Out Pretty Great

I console my self on waking up,

This town will stay the same way.

Grass stains and fireworks on

Downtown summer nights, and when

It took me back I had to ask, oh

Lost love, what can I say? break

Hearts in living rooms and drive

Back home to talk to you.

Midwestern nights, are you

Following me? 'cause it's been

Four long years, oh god that

Constant change. some city lights

And a similar hearbeat, I guess

I've grown a bit but sometimes

You've just got to change a lot.

You've gotta break a lot. kill all

Your darlings, I know that it's

Hard, but you'll gain a lot, so

When you're on the spot, fight

With some soul 'cause you're

Always a champion to me. I

Wouldn't change one thing on

Growing up, I learned to love the

Bad parts, deal with the sad

Parts, things tend to turn out

Pretty great. and if I ever got a

Second chance, no I'd never need a

Second chance, I'm ready, set, go,

Clever, right? no. I'll never grow

Up, not one bit. look deep inside

And I think that you'll find what

You're searching for, so when

You're on the floor, fight with

Some soul 'cause you're always a

Champion to me. silver and gold,

The people I know and all my best

Friends. alone, my heart tends to

Grow, I look at the sky and what I

Live for. when I'm alone in

Indiana, the amber waves crash

Down into horizons. when I am home

In indiana, my small town dreams

Shine brighter than the moonlight.
