lyrics

Verse:
Every day I wake up waiting, wondering how long it’ll take
For my heart to cross the finish line
And I’d love to say I’m patient,
But with every single race, my heart keeps getting left behind

Verse 2:
I’ve been hearing rumours that first is worst and second’s best
And third’s just barely breakin’ through
All my friends they won’t stop telling me that nice guys finish last
So what the hell am I supposed to do?

What the hell’m I supposed to do?
I guess I’ve got nothing to prove when...

Chorus:
I’m always finishing in fourth place
There ain’t no medals ‘round my neck
I’m always finishing in fourth place
Oh fourth place, again and again

Verse:
Don’t confuse my motivations with the need to be the best
Baby I’m just trying to catch your eye
But with all this concentration it seems it’s never quite enough
To do any more than qualify

And do I even qualify?
It doesn’t matter much if

(CHORUS)

Bridge:
Gold, silver, bronze
And just one step behind, I follow every time
I could be wrong, but I’ll never win your heart
I'm too consistent from the start
But maybe there’s a chance that you could love me only if

(CHORUS)
