[Verse 1]
Sometimes good intentions
Don't come across so well
Got me analyzing everything that ain't worth thinking 'bout
Just 'cause I ain't lived through
The same hand that was dealt to you
Doesn't make me any less or make any more of you

[Pre-Chorus]
I wouldn't trade my best day
So you could validate
All your fears
And if I've only got one shot
Won't waste it on a shadow box
I'll stand right here

[Chorus]
'Cause it's all talk talk talk
Talking in the wind
It only slows you down when you start listening
And it's a whole lot harder to shine
Than undermine
Yeah, undermine

[Verse 2]
First mile is always harder
Whеn you're leaving what you know
Won't blame mе if you stay here waving to me as I go
I always wish the best for you
Hoped that you would see me through
My wildest dreams
Yeah, the ones you thought I'd never make
[Pre-Chorus]
Still, you would trade your best day
Just to have your way
All these years
But if you only had one shot
Maybe all this talk
Would disappear

[Chorus]
'Cause it's all talk talk talk
Talking in the wind
It only slows you down when you start listening
And it's a whole lot harder to shine
Than undermine
Yeah, undermine

[Post-Chorus]
It's a whole lot harder to shine
It's a whole lot harder to shine
Than undermine
Yeah, undermine

[Ending]
Sometimes good intentions
Don't come across so well
