Catch 22

[Verse 1]
Sitting on the tiniest stage in town
I'm headed into a year to a ten now
Cities made on traveling crowds
And I get why they don't stick around
I know at home they'd be so proud
But they don't know how this town can beat you down
Feel homesick, better just stick it out
'Cause tips won't pay for a one-way Greyhound

[Chorus]
Momma told me to chase this dream
But I can't help but feel like I'm missing things
Birthdays, diplomas, babies and rings
Moments like that aren't the same through a screen
Is it worth what it means to me?
I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
Catch 22

[Verse 2]
It's not a game of chasing highs
Gotta go through the lows to feel the rise
You can't shut down through the hardest times
I'm learning how to just get through mine

[Chorus]
Momma told me to chase this dream
But I can't help but feel like I'm missing things
Birthdays, diplomas, babies and rings
Moments like that aren't the same through a screen
Is it worth what it means to me?
I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
Catch 22

[Bridge]
Too caught up to leave
Too scared to go
Too stuck in between
Two sides of the road

[Chorus]
Momma told me to chase this dream
But I can't help but feel like I'm missing things
Birthdays, diplomas, babies and rings
Moments like that aren't the same through a screen
Is it worth what it means to me?
Is it worth what it means to me?
I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do
Catch 22
