"Sing It Like You Mean It" Lyrics

What's round on the ends and high in the middle?
(Ohio)
I'm leaving to maximize my potential
U Haul rental packed full of the essentials
Confidence check, yes, I'm feeling special

Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it started
Someday I'll be your favorite artist
Dumb enough to be that confident
Beat the odds with a back handed compliment

Sing it like you mean it
(C'mon, c'mon)
Make me believe it
(C'mon, c'mon)

Dream like you own it
(C'mon, c'mon)
The party ain't stopping
The party ain't

Twelve guys in a two bedroom apartment
Living large shouldn't look this desperate
Walking on stars bums on a park bench
Here's a quarter to avoid a' argument, oh

We felt like the very first ones
Trying to write the universe an anthem
Tomorrow we're old, tonight we're young
What could be more brilliant than to just play dumb?
(Hey)

Sing it like you mean it
(C'mon, c'mon)
Make me believe it
(C'mon, c'mon)

Dream like you own it
(C'mon, c'mon)
The party ain't stopping
The party ain't

Sing it like you mean it
(C'mon, c'mon)
Make me believe it
(C'mon, c'mon)

Dream like you own it
(C'mon, c'mon)
The party ain't stopping
Until we've outgrown it

Roaring twenties, depressed at thirty
Busy bodies move with urgency
I put my ear to the street
Somebody catch me up to speed
I want to win but I don't want to compete

Take the good with the bad
Chew the meat, spit the fat
Own some land, pay the tax
Mini van with two and a half

Raise your glass, toast to past
It all happened a little too fast
Passionate about what you can't get back

Sing it like you mean it
(C'mon, c'mon)
Make me believe it
(C'mon, c'mon)

Dream like you own it
(C'mon, c'mon)
The party ain't stopping
The party ain't

Sing it like you mean it
(C'mon, c'mon)
Make me believe it
(C'mon, c'mon)

Dream like you own it
(C'mon, c'mon)
The party ain't stopping
Until we've outgrown it
