Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained

Clear into the distance

The sun is going down

the gears shift as I make my way

driving out of town

 

the open lands

where the waves crash in

its time to depart

the open roads

ill call my home

hold true inside my heart

 

my dreams as big as the salty blue

and since you left I...

will start anew

my hopes locked away in a jar on the shelf

in an old wooden church I will find myself

 

and when the sun goes down

I will not wait

cause yesterdays gone

and I wont be late

 

In a rive on the opposite end of town

a bottle with three words pours out

but not what you'd dream

not so cliche

in old withered in "baby, please stay"

 

as the sun goes down I wait for dawn

the stars my fate, yesterday gone

 

the open land as vast as my heart

and the waves crash down

during our depart

 

life moves in circles

and we cant escape

my heart the weapon

your soul my aim

cause when there's nothing to lose

there's all to gain
