Raise The Stakes

[Verse 1]

No one wants to live alone forever

I was sweating in the autumn weather

Some are sitting on a bench together

A letter written but not delivered

[Chorus]

I was dealt a bad hand maybe

Time to up the ante

The stakes are high

But I’ve got time to lose

[Verse 2]

Someday we’ll meet in the hills of the sun

Let’s make a bet if you’re not with someone

To be together and to fall in love

I’ll try my hardest not to mess it up

[Verse 3]

I’m the holding cards so close to my chest

Cause there’s no point in being second best

The game is unfair and too rich for my blood

All bets are off when you’re stuck in the mud

[Chorus]

I was dealt a bad hand maybe

Time to up the ante

The stakes are high

But I’ve got time to lose

[Bridge]

Raise the stakes

Raise the stakes

Raise the stakes

Raise the stakes

[Chorus]

I was dealt a bad hand maybe

Time to up the ante

The stakes are high

But I’ve got time to lose
