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 you who 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
Takin\' 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 ask
And this is not a test
No this is not a test
Takin\' 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
Takin\' numbers never
made sense anyways
