Playing For Keeps

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Let's cut to the chase, this is long overdue

Don't waste the days, follow up follow through

Clear eyes, full hearts

Know I can't lose

Don't believe it's all temporary

From my heart to my head

It's time you hear me

Don't get scared now, and we won't back down

And now I'm back to find just what we left

Through the worst and best of it

You know I could never let it go

This place that I call home

So I'll turn the page

I'm doing right by my mistakes

I never learned to walk away

But this time we're playing for keeps!

Over the ocean we're tracing the globe

I'm making the most, of this untraveled road

I've wrestled with demons and faced all my fears

Keep on moving forward, life can change in a year

Just keep moving forward, life can change in a year

And now I'm back to find just what we left

Through the worst and best of it

You know I could never let it go

This place that I call home

So I'll turn the page

I'm doing right by my mistakes

I never learned to walk away

But this time we're playing for keeps

I'll make the most of what's in front of me

No dead day's a waste I can finally see

Covered in stains and scars from daydreams

A message carved in flesh to save me

A message carved in flesh to save me

I'm back on my feet!

If it's a wall, it falls

If it's a cage, it breaks

I'm taking from it all, learn from my mistakes

If it's run to crawl

If I'm face to face

I tripped up enough to learn from my mistakes

If it's a wall, it falls

If it's a cage, it breaks

I'm taking from it all, learn from my mistakes

If it's run to crawl

If I'm face to face

I tripped up enough to learn from my mistakes
