written by dorothy, jisu, and chloe copoloff
mixed by evan sutton

lyrics:
never was a straight A kid
never called a genius
stayed up every night
bags under my eyes
just to get an 86

tried out for the play that spring
sang until my voice would sting
sure i nailed the notes
got into the show
but i still didn’t get the lead

nothing good comes easy,
doesn’t mean that i won’t try
cuz nothing worth it happens overnight

chorus
i don’t take the shortcut
i’m here for the long run
i’d rather be the runner up, for the rest of my life, than cut to number one

i don’t need a free lunch
daddy and his trust fund
i’d rather be the underdog, for the rest of my life, than be the lucky one

cello lessons since first grade
practiced while my friends would play
i wouldn’t leave the house
i hated missing out
but now i’m playing every state

labels want a viral hit but i’ll still take my time
cuz nothing worth it happens overnight

chorus

outro
i will take the scenic route
driving through the ups and downs
cuz maybe that’s what life’s about
isn’t it? isn’t it?

silver line in every cloud
so rain or shine, i’m still around
cuz maybe that’s what life’s about
isn’t it? isn’t it?
