lyrics

I am not that young thing that they had
a candy-eyed and Gumby-bodied lad
every morning finding more hair
from my head circling the drain where
water collects what has passed away

it’s too late to be a wunderkind
as surprise yields to expectation
seventeen, they say miracle
twenty three, every eye’s apple
thirty five, you’re just another one

and truly I do know why
no one’s surprised to find someone afraid to die
if 70 years is all you can muster hope for, you’ll wring it dry

so let me age with dignity and grace
let character haunt the lines of my face
let me long for truth in season
let me give what has been given
let my strangling grip release to rest

Championships is the product of Portland songwriter Cameron Heger. Though he is no singer, though he is no multi-instrumentalist, and though he is barely a songwriter--Championships, against all odds, exists.
