lyrics

Competition
Oh, where's it gettin' me?
If I were further 'long or stronger
I'd think different, probably
Oh, I was bolder when I's younger
But I believe the best's ahead
You got your health if you ain't hurtin'
When you can't feel you're dead

Now I've been places I ain't proud of
But I've allowed love
To serve me up my share of shame
See, I feel, feel the suffering's real when
My head ain't in the game

Well, I had a sneaking suspicion
When you read me your poetry
And I was sold the week that we spent
Underneath the apple tree
Ain't that just like me?
Nothing I won't give away
But without clout in a confession
I haven't much point to pray

Now I've been places I ain't proud of
But I've allowed love
To simply have its way with me
But now I feel, feel the cupid's heel and
It's digging into me

Reputations
Everybody has got one
I understand he is a brave man
For trying to take me on
Now, I don't mean to sound childish
But I did see you first
We were on the dock and dreaming
About to be immersed

But I don't care to speculate on what you might want from
A young soul or an old flame
So I've learned, learned to feel the burn and
Now Phoenix is my name
Yes, I've learned, learned to feel the burn and
Now Phoenix is my name
