Expectations
When I was little, I though I'd be an astronaut
Flying off to space in my little dinosaur
I thought I'd be a big shot
Grew a little older and read Percy Jackson
Thought I'd write a novel or something just like it
I guess I just forgot
But
I just have those expectations that never get met
But the world isn't perfect so that's just how it is
I can't be mad, it's not that bad
So I guess I need to lower my expectations
I just wanted to be a superhero
Fighting off bad guys just like that TV show
Maybe I'll get there one day
And I wanted to be a songwriter
Singing at concerts while I'm on fire
Guess that's my dream today
But
I just have those expectations that never get met
But the world isn't perfect so that's just how it is
I can't be mad, it's not that bad
So I guess I need to lower my expectations
And I have dreams, and I still believe
Yeah I have dreams, and I still believe (But...)
I just have those expectations that never get met
But the world isn't perfect so that's just how it is
I can't be mad, it's not that bad
So I guess I need to lower my expectations
Flying off to space in my little dinosaur
I thought I'd be a big shot
Grew a little older and read Percy Jackson
Thought I'd write a novel or something just like it
I guess I just forgot
But
I just have those expectations that never get met
But the world isn't perfect so that's just how it is
I can't be mad, it's not that bad
So I guess I need to lower my expectations
I just wanted to be a superhero
Fighting off bad guys just like that TV show
Maybe I'll get there one day
And I wanted to be a songwriter
Singing at concerts while I'm on fire
Guess that's my dream today
But
I just have those expectations that never get met
But the world isn't perfect so that's just how it is
I can't be mad, it's not that bad
So I guess I need to lower my expectations
And I have dreams, and I still believe
Yeah I have dreams, and I still believe (But...)
I just have those expectations that never get met
But the world isn't perfect so that's just how it is
I can't be mad, it's not that bad
So I guess I need to lower my expectations
