Lyrics

Pilot

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
We're never forced
To chose between a child king
Or a spark to force our own ignition
I am not good at being alone
I still find the worst in everyone
I need a reason, a vision of somebody

Oh, but I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger
Oh, I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger

Oh, you think it's over, well that's the real start
Feel far in your bones, feel the beat in your heart
It's sailing season
To grow about keep on moving

Oh, I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger
Oh, and I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Beyond our first thought, you can choose
You can choose

Oh, I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger
Oh, and I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger

Oh, I don't want to be the center of anything
Just a part of something bigger
