Close Lyrics by School Is Cool

Things That Don’t Go Right

2019

[Verse 1]
You know I'm trying to climb that hill
In ten years, I'll probably be here still
Someday, I'll finally get my due
But my fate, babe, it ain't tied to you (Woo)

[Verse 2]
I saw you cut him down where he stood
Somehow, I'd always known you would
Come and find me on the battlefield
Just say the magic word and I'll yield

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could get that close, I'd know just what to do
When the whistle blows, I might as well enjoy the view
But I'll never get that close, maybe I don't have what it takes
I'll never get that close, I faltеr every time
Evеry time you raise the stakes

[Chorus]
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes

[Verse 3]
Invite me to the circle dance
If you'll have me, won't you take my hand?
From Monday to my Sunday best
Strike a deal and put it to the test

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I get so close, I can hold it in the palm of my hand
When the whistle blows, I guess I'll finally understand
I'll never get that close, don't think I'll ever really have what it takes
I'll never get that close, I falter every time
Every time you raise the stakes

[Chorus]
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes
Every time you raise the stakes (Na-na-na-na)
Every time you raise the stakes (Woo)
