lyrics

I like pizza, I like poems, I like country music
I am good at football, I can sing real high
I would rather not play chess, sign me up for checkers
I'm not good with horses, bar-b-ques or cats

What lurks in between there ?
Is it black or white ?
Can I change my mind now ?
How can I be right ?

I find comfort trusting in, questions more than answers
Wait, I'm not so certain, I'm not sure that's true
Do you like the feeling when you do things you're not good at ?
Trying makes you glorious, thanks for trusting me.

I vote for adventure
Failure by design
I just want to win by
changing my own mind
