You know I'm trying to comeback hill
In 10 years I'll probably be here still
Someday you'll finally get my due
But my fate baby ain't tied to you
I saw you cutting down where you stood
Somehow I've always known you would
Come and find me on the battlefield
Just say the magic word and I'm yours
If I could get that close I'd know just what to do
When the whistle blows I might as well enjoy the view
I'll never get that close
Maybe I don't have what it takes
I never get that close
I falter every time
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Invite me to the circle dance
If you have me won't you take my hand
From Monday to my Sunday best
Tracking the yellow put it to the test
But when I get so close I could hold up my hand
When the whistle blows I guess I finally understand
I'll never get that close
Maybe I don't have what it takes
I never get that close
I falter every time
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
