Going For The Bronze

[Verse 1]
I'm taking it slow, keeping the pace
I'm only looking to place
Never a loss, never a win
Bronze medals hanging from my bed
I'm running the grey matter laps
Out of my mind on the outer track
If I don't feel someone else will
It's all downhill from here

[Chorus]
On my own
Running down the one man marathon
Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze

[Verse 2]
Taking the licks, getting my stripes
Everything in life comes with a price
By a thread stay alive
Make it happen in a third rate stride
For the runner up, runner up, runner up prize
I'll take what I can get at the finish line
Drafting the pack in the blind
All thoroughbreds in their prime

[Chorus]
Bound to show
Running down this lonely road
Forgoing the gold
I'm going, going, going for the bronze

[Bridge]
I know there could be nothing more than this
As they're all pushing their limits
I am left wondering what I missed
'Cause they all seem trapped
Hopelessly fighting over scraps
I won't miss them when they're gone
I won't miss them when they're gone

[Chorus]
On my own
Running down the young man's marathon
Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
