varsity blues lyrics

i wake up every morning
jumping at whistles come rain or shine
my spirit, it goes through the motions
they need a number to identify

when i look out on the horizon
i see far beyond this place called home
every time i try to explain it
i end up feeling so alone

you don't want to walk in my shoes
beneath all this envy green
i'm varsity blue
varsity blue...

i try to shake my daily routine
i gotta escape from their watchful eyes
'cause i'm not sure if this is about me
or if they're reliving glory days gone by

you don't want to walk in my shoes
beneath all this envy green
i'm varsity blue
varsity blue...

if i let your games ruin our relation
we build the foundation of the
pedestal they put us on
and if you can, try to understand me
because sooner or later this will all be gone

you don't want to walk in my shoes
beneath all this envy green
i'm varsity blue
varsity blue...
