Take It Or Leave It

about

Written and recorded between August 28th and October 19th 2023.

lyrics

High flying
Death defying
You can make it pay
Ground breaking
Headline making
That's the only way

Your story
In all its glory
Will turn the heads of fools
Keep playing on what they're saying
That's the golden rule

You'll never be far from winning
Where bluffing is the game
Looks like it's all beginning
To fall into place at the front of the line
The past isn't on your mind
But it could haunt you in time

Take it or leave it
Stay or go
Take it or leave it
It's yes or no
You know there's nothing in between
Take it or leave it
The time is now
Up on your own or in the crowd
Either way you'll wonder what could have been

If you get to have your day
Save some 'til tomorrow
Learn from those mistakes
That sent so many crashing down
Crashing down in flames

High flying
There's no denying
That's some way to fall
Hold tight if you reach that height
And you could have it all

You'll never be far from winning
Where bluffing is the game
Looks like it's all beginning
To fall into place at the front of the line
The past isn't on your mind
But it could haunt you in time

Take it or leave it
Stay or go
Take it or leave it
It's yes or no
You know there's nothing in between
Take it or leave it
The time is now
Up on your own or in the crowd
Either way you'll wonder what could have been

Take it or leave it
Stay or go
Take it or leave it
It's yes or no
You know there's nothing in between
Take it or leave it
The time is now
Up on your own or in the crowd
Either way you'll wonder what could have been
Release that spell you're under and follow the dream
