I Think I Got This Wrong

I fell down and I didn't get up I leaped before I looked I tried to climb out of that hole Down in the ground I asked a friend to lend a hand Got kicked in the head instead Now I'm stuck Searching for my way around I didn't want it bad enough I gave in when I shoulda manned up Someone else came in And finished my job Boss man told me I'm done He's got other people firing that gun Now I'm stuck Standing in the welfare line I'm always Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory I keep on Trying to dream it instead of being it I should stop Seeking excuses for every solution I think I got this wrong I got too much advice from them Not enough advice from him Everyone's wondering What the hell's going on I don't know myself I'm hoping no one figures it out Now I'm stuck Looking for the next train south I'm always Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory I keep on Trying to dream it instead of being it I should stop Seeking excuses for every solution I think I got this wrong I think I need to say I'm sorry To everyone that gave me a chance I just couldn't recognize That was my shot gun blast Good times and bad times And everything in between I just wish I wasn't so good At doing the wrong damn thing I'm always Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory I keep on Trying to dream it instead of being it I should stop Seeking excuses for every solution I think I got this wrong
