Give and Take

One step forward two steps back
Turn off that talk track                  
Fate changes like the wind
Double down, start again                            

Talked it out since we began
Fantasy’s a losing hand   
Play the game of “love me not”
Here and now is all we got      

No matter where you go
Passion burns in the glow
Another day goes by
In this in-between state of mind
Let’s make up for lost time   

We agreed when we met
What you give is what you get
Roll the dice, play the game
Risk and proof are the same

The world ain’t what we think it is
Baby it’s just what it is
But if I give and if you take    
Then the world is what we make 

No matter where you are    
You shine like the morning star
Another day goes by 
In this in-between state of mind    
Let’s make up for lost time 

No matter where you go    
Passion burns in the glow
The hour is growing late  
Good things come to those who wait  
Let’s not hesitate
