For those of you who tried but didn't make it
Settle down, it's never what you think
The summit doesn't differ from the big, dark valley

And the valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink

For those of who you thought you'd be forgotten

The friends you've made will try their best to make it so
Think of all the beauty that you've left behind you
You can take it if you want it and then let it go


And this is not a test
No, this is not a test

Taking numbers never made sense anyways
No, this is not a test
No, this is not a test

'cause you can have it if you want it anyways

For those of us who try to keep remembering

Try to do our better-than-our-best
Think of all the children and the drifts of snow
Winners never quit, but winters never rest


And this is not a test
No, this is not a test

Taking numbers never made sense anyways
No, this is not a test
No, this is not a test

'cause you can have it if you want it anyways

No, this is not a test

No, this is not a test
Taking numbers never made sense anyways
