Win Some, Lose Somebody Lyrics

I remember when
The only thing that mattered was friends
6th street, six speed and Katie had a crush on Ben
We'd stare up at the sky and pretend
That the summer after seventeen was never gonna end

But dreams get big and circles get smaller
Some count kids and others count dollars
And I just wish that none of that mattered
'Cause some lose grip while climbing that ladder

Hey kid, you're gonna go far
You're gonna hit big but break a couple hearts
You wanna wake up with everything you need
But when you win some, you lose somebody
Hey kid, you're gonna be fine
You're gonna take off, but cut a couple ties
It's gonna pay off, but nothing's ever free
'Cause when you win some, you lose somebody

I remember how
We never thought we'd figure it out
Writing stupid lyrics in the basement of my parents' house
And look at where we're singing 'em now
But the faces got a little less familiar in the crowd

'Cause life goes on and changes like seasons
Some find God and others fight demons
I just wish that none of that mattered
But there's no way to stop and go backwards

Hey kid, you're gonna go far
You're gonna hit big but break a couple hearts
You wanna wake up with everything you need
But when you win some, you lose somebody
Hey kid, you're gonna be fine
You're gonna take off, but cut a couple ties
It's gonna pay off, but nothing's ever free
'Cause when you win some, you lose somebody

Some doors close and others slam open
Some don't change when others keep hoping
And that young gun who lived for this moment
Oh, I just wish that someone had told him

Hey kid, you're gonna go far
You're gonna hit big but leave a couple scars
You wanna wake up with everything you need
But when you win some, you lose somebody
Hey kid, you're gonna be fine
You're gonna take off, but cut a couple ties
It's gonna pay off, but nothing's ever free
'Cause when you win some, you lose somebody

Oh, you lose somebody
