Take What You Get

Did you take what it meant Little time spent Listen to what you said Come and went Will you feel some regret Or take what you get Take what you get Has the message been Could’ve been sent but never received Taken for granted but not for keeps Seems like what we want is out of reach But what we don’t want just never leaves Lost in the process got Stan’s mailman Keys in the pocket with a hole, failed plan Seems like a step we all know but can’t stand Something this round tells me that we can Be a shame if no good Rose up MVP Derrick, Open Lane but no dunk Bad enough on it’s own, pull from the bad Have something we’d known, full on new grad Learned my lesson but scared to forget As things get normal my paranoia sets Would you take the bet? Would I take the bet No I ain’t set, Not holding my breath Now I know that there’s fear Being Sincere Let’s make this clear As I stand here I won’t have regret I’ll take what I get Take what I get Enjoy the smallest of Like an album you can’t stop singing Feel like Dory cause I can’t stop Swimming Thinking you lost and you come out winning Draw the long straw and you can’t stop grinning Knowing it’ll drop, it’s the perfect release Like Curry in the corner, staring down the other team Wearing new kicks, look down and no seem Longboard, bumpy road, now a paved street Presence of others filling up the room Sisters and brothers convos being consumed Go to the cutters, quick buzz, nice groom Cautions now mutters, Time to let loose Shorts and sweater, Stars out, Just right Style and comfort, toe to toe, Big fight Perfect twist end is out of sight Do exactly what I want yeah, I just might Stillest of water when calm’s pleaded Waves crashing over when the surf’s needed Phone not around distracted from distractor Perfectly round compacted from compactor Ability to come and go as you please Starts with a button, throw away the keys Sun dress, heads up, here comes a breeze Make up for that joke, spread wine and cheese What night is it? We playing or watching Thinking it’s a crash but only just touching Changing gears without putting the clutch in Almost thought I couldn’t think of something Out and about with no guilt and just fun Beach filling up as we chase for the sun These kind of thoughts would’ve never been done In a season of loses, This has been won Did you take what it meant Little time spent Listen to what you said Come and went Will you feel some regret Or take what you get Take what you get Has the message been sent Now I know that there’s fear Being Sincere Let’s make this clear As I stand here I won’t have regret I’ll take what I get Take what I get Enjoy the smallest of gifts Before all of this We just couldn’t Find our own bliss Reach out and just miss We’d search for some flaw Search wide and far Search wide and far Even though it was All that we need, Basic necessity To be able to be free and see who we need We should now notice when this is over From everyday life that we are just spoiled Feels more normal now to be alone Used to love a crowd but lost their throne Don’t think I ever would’ve created The Zone Let alone escape and become my own Do what i want even all eyes on me Putting on a show even though they can see Turning heads like driving by in a Bentley Roundhouse kick when trained by Jet Li Ever had something so high it gets in the way Trying to master the climb but start to stray Finish line on the mind but now turned grey Takes one of a kind to hold on and stay By nature always looking at everything around Usually keeping a head up but this time it’s down Usually looking around but now at myself That’s the only way to understand all else Always had faith and been pretty proud At the right times we’ve gotten loud Coming together to fight as a crowd Didn’t know we could but do I know now
