Lyrics I Lost A Bet - Aquilo

I Lost A Bet

Well it seems I lost a bet when I was just a boy
These trees, they wrap around me and I couldn’t touch the floor
But I suppose if I had everything and everything had me
Then I would be a dreamer but dreams don’t mean a thing
But I’m forced to hear a whisper blowing with the wind
If all I could do was witness then I would be a king
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
Now we’re all wrapped up in a story, some stories never get told
And this one, it feels like a movie, a movie that I can’t control
'Cause so far I’ve been tempted by the silver plated dreams
I’ve been such a fool for colors, now I can’t see a thing
But I’m forced to hear a whisper frozen in the wind
If all I could do was witness then I would be a king
