From the recording All My Heroes Are Ghosts
Lyrics
Aim low
Don’t set the bar too high
If you want to reach your goals
before you die
Aim low
Don’t try to fly
You won’t be crying in your pillow
Cause you couldn’t touch the sky
Low expectations
are the key to happiness
If you can coast at mediocre
Why battle for the best
Aim low
Swim in the smaller ponds
You’re never gonna get the gold
try for the bronze
Aim low
Why break a sweat
Go on and phone it in
Set it and forget
Don’t bother trying
to bring God down from the sky
You got your own dance moves
And a little car to drive
Aim low
You’re not as special as Mama said
So ride on smoother roads
Clear that ego from your head
I sat outside their window
With a boombox and a sign
But my dreams still didn’t want me
So I’m stepping out of line
And I’ll Aim low
I don’t need to fly
You won’t see me crying in my pillow
Cause I couldn’t touch the sky
Aim low
Won’t even write a last verse
Gonna go binge watch some tv show
make it the same as the first
Aim low
Don’t set the bar too high
If you want to reach your goals
Before you die
Aim low…
