Mackenzie Bourg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like I'm working for a lottery ticket
One step forward, and 2 steps back
Think I got talent but what is that even
Why do i feel like it's comeback season
sun shining warm but I just don't feel it
I'd be lost if it weren't
For you
You make the Little victories feel big
Your that Silver lining
So Keep me right beside ya
You make the hurt not hurt so much
So Don'tcha leave me lonely
You make the Little victories feel big
I had dreams turn to disappointment
Late bloomer and I'm still not growin
But I never even fantasized
Somebody like you would be on my side

Then, he admits that he would be lost without his significant other or support system. He describes how the little victories in his life feel big because of his partner's encouragement. His partner, who is a silver lining in his life, keeps him on the right path. His partner makes his pain less painful, and he pleads for them not to leave him lonely. In the final verse, he reflects on his dreams that have turned to disappointment, and how even as a late bloomer, he never imagined someone like his significant other being on his side.
