The group were big for just a year and then the whole thing fell they had nothing to fall back on they fell pretty hard as you can tell and now they're cleaning tables in the local bar it wasn't all that long ago that they'd be told that they'd go far She looks down on those who do not look up to her she's a head above them all although she'll never be as tall And everybody loves her they think that she is swell But the one true problem is that she knows it all too well Carve out your future no one else will do it for you x2 And I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make And I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose now He's feeling pretty confident he thinks his future's made But all of a sudden the adoration could fade Now he begs the world to like him, and pretend he likes himself but he's wasted all his years and now he's sitting on the shelf I can try to avoid it I can push it in the shade But whether I like it or not there are decisions to be made I'm really scared a little bridge is all that I will be They'll tell me I'll be big and then they'll walk all over me Carve out your future no one else will do it for you x2 And I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make And I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose now Can I be sure that I've got nothing to lose Can I be sure that I won't end up bruised x2 Take life by the handlebars Take life by the handlebars And I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose Take life by the handlebars and shake shake shake It is nowhere you will go if it's not progress that you make And I know that it's a hard thing to choose, but I think it's pretty clear that I've got nothing to lose now
