What Is There To Lose

from What Is There To Lose? by Ross Mayhew

/

lyrics

stepping in out in style, swimming the nile
maybe climb a mountain or two
I got no place to be, I can’t find the eighth sea
but I’ve not looked under the stairs
I looked at the moon, from the safety of my room
watched it wax and wan
but tomorrows another day, guess I’ll be on my way
but I don’t know where to
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train

I ain’t out of luck, I just don’t give a fuck
I'll take it all in my stride
I guess I don’t care, that I’m losing my hair
It’s money saved on a comb
I took a picture of my heart, put it on a graph
to measure love
I don’t understand, the rules of the land
so I live by my soul
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train

baby I don’t know, what’s down the road
we’ll find out when we get there
maybe do a dance, take a gamble, take a chance
maybe dodge a bullet or two
don’t expect too much, from where you end up
it’s the journey that gets you there
sing a little song, right a few wrongs
but be sure to draw your own map

i sailed out to see in the depth of a dream
but woke in the shallow end
i pulled in to port as a last resort
as i'd rather seek some rum
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train
they say life is short, but it is the biggest thing
i'll ever know
if you wanna be happy, then don't water
the seeds of sorrow

don't forget to live, or soon you'll end up
digging your own grave
the worlds a busy place and feet are misplaced
walking a broken path
what is there to lose girl, and what is there to gain
let's go all the way, riding the midnight train

you gotta accept, the adventure
of being you
no one else gets to try, and we're all gonna die
so just go with the flow
