What's Been Coming
from Playoff Run by Playoff Run
lyrics
Always had high hopes as a kid
But I had no plan
Didn’t know if I could do it
Stuck in a town near Akron, Ohio
Playing crappy shows at the Gyro
Mom said, “You need a change of scenery.”
Dad shed a tear as he hugged me goodbye
Knowing I would make my mark
But it’s just the start of a war I'll fight 'til I die
Some say I'm never gonna make it
But what does that mean now?
At least I'm making moves
I’m doing better than them
I'm getting out of my hometown
This is for all the kids back home
With hopes and dreams just like my own
Gonna make them proud
And if I go out, leave the engine running
We’ve all got opinions
But you’re better off listening
It’s my life to waste
The hit’s just a taste of what’s been coming
Been here for a little while
Can’t seem to find my scene or style
I know what they think and it might be fair
That I can’t copy Blink and expect to go anywhere
So I’ll just keep doing me
And someday soon I will make them see
That I was meant to do great things
To find my crowd and give them a song a sing
Some said I’ll never make it
But what does that mean now?
At least I made my move
I’m doing better than them
I got out of my hometown
You’ll start with just a couple friends
No ways or means to an end
And maybe when a hundred people listen
You won’t have to pretend
‘Cause you could go a thousand years
A thousand miles to feel it again
That rush that feels like a million bucks
How much are you willing to spend?
But I had no plan
Didn’t know if I could do it
Stuck in a town near Akron, Ohio
Playing crappy shows at the Gyro
Mom said, “You need a change of scenery.”
Dad shed a tear as he hugged me goodbye
Knowing I would make my mark
But it’s just the start of a war I'll fight 'til I die
Some say I'm never gonna make it
But what does that mean now?
At least I'm making moves
I’m doing better than them
I'm getting out of my hometown
This is for all the kids back home
With hopes and dreams just like my own
Gonna make them proud
And if I go out, leave the engine running
We’ve all got opinions
But you’re better off listening
It’s my life to waste
The hit’s just a taste of what’s been coming
Been here for a little while
Can’t seem to find my scene or style
I know what they think and it might be fair
That I can’t copy Blink and expect to go anywhere
So I’ll just keep doing me
And someday soon I will make them see
That I was meant to do great things
To find my crowd and give them a song a sing
Some said I’ll never make it
But what does that mean now?
At least I made my move
I’m doing better than them

You’ll start with just a couple friends
No ways or means to an end
And maybe when a hundred people listen
You won’t have to pretend
‘Cause you could go a thousand years
A thousand miles to feel it again
That rush that feels like a million bucks
How much are you willing to spend?
