[Verse 1]
In between the Earth and sky
Not too low and not too high you’re all alone
In the unknown
Don’t look back and don’t take stock
Let it wheel and let it rock, let it go
Get in the zone
When you’re coming round the curb
And you start to lose your nerve take it there
Don’t be scared, stomp the pedal to the floor
Give it just a little more you’re almost there
You’re almost there
[Chorus]
You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand
Starts to shake, high stakes
You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule
But it feels great, high stakes
[Verse 2]
When you’re feeding to the fire
And the flames are rushing higher
And it gets hot, give it all you got
When they’re tearing down your name
Boy don’t be ashamed, get in the game
Don’t take the blame
Heaven is so close, and hell is there for those who wait around
Don’t wait around, you gotta stand up and fight
If you know what’s right stand your ground [?]
[Chorus]
You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand
Starts to shake, high stakes
You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule
But it feels great, high stakes
Yeah you did great, high stakes
You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand
Starts to shake, high stakes
You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule
But it feels great, high stakes
Yeah you did great, high stakes
High stakes
In between the Earth and sky
Not too low and not too high you’re all alone
In the unknown
Don’t look back and don’t take stock
Let it wheel and let it rock, let it go
Get in the zone
When you’re coming round the curb
And you start to lose your nerve take it there
Don’t be scared, stomp the pedal to the floor
Give it just a little more you’re almost there
You’re almost there
[Chorus]
You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand
Starts to shake, high stakes
You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule
But it feels great, high stakes
[Verse 2]
When you’re feeding to the fire
And the flames are rushing higher
And it gets hot, give it all you got
When they’re tearing down your name
Boy don’t be ashamed, get in the game
Don’t take the blame
Heaven is so close, and hell is there for those who wait around
Don’t wait around, you gotta stand up and fight
If you know what’s right stand your ground [?]
[Chorus]
You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand
Starts to shake, high stakes
You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule
But it feels great, high stakes
Yeah you did great, high stakes
You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand
Starts to shake, high stakes
You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule
But it feels great, high stakes
Yeah you did great, high stakes
High stakes
