"Winning Streak" lyrics

There's only so much we can say or do
Only so many breaths to hold on to
Barely the time to fall or make mistakes
Let alone to piece them back again

And I've been luckier than most
Seen every state, touched every coast
Back then the chances lay in front of me
And I'd rush up every mountain to reach the peak

But rules don't bend
And winning streaks must have an end

We have to swim against a turning tide
Nowhere to run, nowhere to stay and hide
And though we try our best to see it through
Life finds a way to make a fool of you

I know I'm luckier than most
I made it out, I stayed afloat
And with the chances lay in front of me
I question what I once held in belief

That rules don't bend
And winning streaks must have an end

And now the dust has settled, I remain
Another chance to go against the grain
But I have found a greater cause
No sound sweeter than my love's applause

That's why I'm luckier than most
For now my life's a gentle coast
'Cause now it's obvious and clear to see
You've given me a reason to believe

That rules can bend
And winning streaks don't have to end
