I’d rather be a speck in the sky
than never get the chance to shine
rather be a speck in the sky
I’d rather finish dead last place
than never get to run the race
rather finish dead place
you’re living if you’re trying
even if you’re not flying
but standing still is still just dying
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing til I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It’s all about steps not the top of the stairs
I’d rather be a speck in the sky
than never get the chance to shine
I’d rather be a speck in the sky
And I'd rather have you laughing behind my back
Saying what a joke, put your head on the tracks
I'd rather you be laughing behind my back
Than live in your box, too scared to act
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing til I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It’s all about steps not the top of the stairs
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing til I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It’s all about steps not the top of the stairs
you’re living if you’re trying
even if you’re not flying
but standing still is still just dying
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing til I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It’s all about steps not the top of the stairs
I may never make it and I don’t care
Gotta keep climbing til I run out of air
I may never make it and I don't care
It’s all about steps not the top of the stairs

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
