Raise The Stakes

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

I was dealt a bad hand maybe
Time to up the ante
The stakes are high but
I've got time to lose

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

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

Raise the stakes
Raise the stakes
Raise the stakes
Raise the stakes

I was dealt a bad hand maybe
Time to up the ante
The stakes are high but
I've got time to lose
