The Longshot
from The Longshot EP by Stevie Mac
lyrics
Calculating the ways that you trip over your shoes
In the depths of your blues you find ways to correct your steps
Throw ideas to the board and you pray hard that one sticks
Ignoring the quick fix in favour of something that's truly real
When your reach exceeds your grasp don't you let go
Passing buckets to form a chain why you don't know
Time expanding for me down the track of my one choice
I hear my own voice dispelling the rumours that snipe away
Everyone's tempted to go for the longshot
In the depths of your blues you find ways to correct your steps
Throw ideas to the board and you pray hard that one sticks
Ignoring the quick fix in favour of something that's truly real
When your reach exceeds your grasp don't you let go
Passing buckets to form a chain why you don't know
Time expanding for me down the track of my one choice
I hear my own voice dispelling the rumours that snipe away
Everyone's tempted to go for the longshot
