Lyrics Playing for Keeps - Across The Atlantic

Playing for Keeps

Let’s cut to the chase, this is long overdue
Don’t waste the days, follow up follow through
Clear eyes, full hearts
Know I can’t lose
Don’t believe it’s all temporary
From my heart to my head
It’s time you hear me
Don’t get scared now, and we won’t back down
And now I’m back to find just what we left
Through the worst and best of it
You know I could never let it go
This place that I call home
So I’ll turn the page
I’m doing right by my mistakes
I never learned to walk away
But this time we’re playing for keeps!
Over the ocean we’re tracing the globe
I’m making the most, of this untraveled road
I’ve wrestled with demons and faced all my fears
Keep on moving forward, life can change in a year
Just keep moving forward, life can change in a year
And now I’m back to find just what we left
Through the worst and best of it
You know I could never let it go
This place that I call home
So I’ll turn the page
I’m doing right by my mistakes
I never learned to walk away
But this time we’re playing for keeps
I’ll make the most of what’s in front of me
No dead day’s a waste I can finally see
Covered in stains and scars from daydreams
A message carved in flesh to save me
A message carved in flesh to save me
I’m back on my feet!
If it’s a wall, it falls
If it’s a cage, it breaks
I’m taking from it all, learn from my mistakes
If it’s run to crawl
If I’m face to face
I tripped up enough to learn from my mistakes
If it’s a wall, it falls
If it’s a cage, it breaks
I’m taking from it all, learn from my mistakes
If it’s run to crawl
If I’m face to face
I tripped up enough to learn from my mistakes
