This song is basically about passing up opportunities while holding out for better ones. Grass is never greener when there are no pastures left to choose from. Mind just blown?
lyrics
There was a boy / Who watched the good things pass him by
He always had the ticket / But he never claimed his prize
He didn't care because no commitment means no pressure
No care at all because tomorrow always bring much better
This boy couldn't handle good / He had to hold out for the best
Someday he'll see where he went wrong / When his soul is laid to rest
He didn't care because no commitment means no pressure
No care at all because tomorrow always bring much better
