Betting on Us Lyrics by Francis and the Lights

Like a Dream

2013

[Intro]
Oh no (x2)
[Verse 1]
These foreign interests man, they're roamin' my business
They say I've gone too far
The conditions worsen, cloudin' my vision
They say I want it too much
Thought about it for a minute
And I came to the decision
That they’re probably right
I'm tired of waitin'
And I want it too much
[Chorus]
And so I'm steppin' on up to the plate
And I'm bettin' on us all the way
[Verse 2]
They're checkin' gauges, man, they're comin' in stages
Said they won't give up
They've been clockin' my numbers
But I'm workin' the summers
‘Cause I want it so much
I was down in the trenches - doin' my time
Now I'm swingin' for the fences - it's all on the line
And I'm nervous and shakin'
And tired, impatient
And I wanna go home
[Chorus]
But no, I'm steppin' on up to the plate
And I'm bettin' on us all the way
[Bridge]
I'm not bettin' on luck, no
It's just a lie, it's just a lie, just a lie
‘Cause I've been waitin' forever
But I know I can get it if I want it so much
So I'm bettin' on us
[Outro]
That's right, I'm bettin' on us
I'm bettin' on us (x3)
That's right I'm bettin' on us, yeah
All the way, yeah
All the way - ay
All the way (Oh no)
Bettin' on us
Steppin' up, Goddammit, what am I waiting for?
Oh no (Bettin' on us)
Set it up
Shame on me, what am I waiting for?
