Brighter Brightest - Strike Gold lyrics

Strike Gold I used to think that people got big writing good songs from the heart But now I know that people just like to get a number one on the pop chart I used to drive around listening to blink I used to wonder what everybody else would think about the songs I wrote and are they good enough for the radio? Everybody's falling apart. Do you know it doesn't have to be so hard? It seems everybody thought it would be easy to strike gold, but you sold out. You see I didn't wanna be someone else, I hit the road, played some shows to become myself. It seems everybody thought it'd be easy to strike gold, but you sold out. I used to see NFG every summer when they came through town Front row, every show with my best friends singing along dreaming about walking out on stage every single night saying my bands name hoping that they like the songs I wrote about my life.. I think I got the dream right But now everybody's falling apart. Do you know it doesn't have to be so hard? It seems everybody thought it would be easy to strike gold, but you sold out. You see I didn't wanna be someone else, I hit the road, played some shows to become myself. It seems everybody thought it'd be easy to strike gold, but you sold out. All of the time that you spent pulling strings trying to be the next big thing, you could have spent your time just writing songs finding out just who you are And my favourite part of this is while you played pretend you missed that it's deep down where you find the hits, the hits I used to think that people got big writing good songs from the heart Everybody's falling apart. Do you know it doesn't have to be so hard? It seems everybody thought it would be easy to strike gold, but you sold out. You see I didn't wanna be someone else, I hit the road, played some shows to become myself. It seems everybody thought it'd be easy to strike gold, but you sold out.
