Rooibos - High Stakes Lyrics

I'm upping, you're downing
I'm smiling, you're frowning
How did things ever get this way?
Your voice, like thunder
Our anger, you wonder
How did things ever get this way?
If they say you're a red flag
I'd know what they mean
Because I've seen you get mad
I heard it said that
When somebody screams
They're reaching into their depths
So how could that be bad?
You show me your spirit
The fire that is it
I'll be the wind to stoke it
Not the water that chokes it
You see the toll it takes
You know that we could be soulmates
And that makes it scary really
When everything is at stake
When everything is at stake
You're tense
I'm frustrated
Our hope is suffocated
How did things ever get this way?
Your voice, like thunder
You yell at me and wonder
Will we ever be ok?
Do you think that dreams should stay dreams?
Just like fantasy, so tender, out of reach
But then that would be like falling from the tree
That has rooted you and me
So we take the high road
You see our lives unfold
It's ok if it's scary
Cause the pressure, it's nature
Stay and fight for what she gave you
You see the toll it takes
You know that we could be soulmates
And that makes it scary really
When everything is at stake
When everything is at stake
I know that you might feel like it's too much
I know that you might feel like giving up
But this is what you're in it for
This is why you came
This is what you came for
This is what you came for!
You see the toll it takes
You know that we could be soulmates
And that makes it scary really
When everything is at stake
When everything is at stake
