Take What You Got

Remember the bar where our fathers went

To spend the end of the day

Remember the yard behind the bar

Where we’d run and play

Yeah, well, now the bar is a laundromat

Now, the yard is a high-rise flat

You can't go back

You can't make it last

You've gotta take what you've got

Even when your life is in knots

You take aim, take your shot

Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot

You've got to take what you've got

You'd always say that one of these days

You'd get out of this broken town

You'd always say that you wouldn't stay

No, you wouldn't stick around

Never knew what I wanted before

Now I'm even more unsure

You can't move on if you're still in the past

You've gotta take what you've got

Even when your life is in knots

You take aim, take your shot

Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot

You've got to take what you've got

Everybody’s telling me what I need to be

Change with the times, move on with my life

Or just wait around and see

Well, maybe this time, I take a chance

Leap into the vast expanse

Maybe this time, I seize my destiny

My destiny

You've gotta take what you've got

Even when your life is in knots

You take aim, take your shot

Sometimes, you've got to re-write the plot

You've got to take what you've got

You've got to take what you've got
