Paul Brandt - Risk Lyrics

Words & Music by Paul Brandt

I?d rather stand on the edge of a cliff

And hang my toes over a bit,

And then jump when they dare me,

Even if it scares me and I get hurt.

I?d rather build my wings on the way down,

Do my best not to fall to the ground

and than laugh at my mistakes

?cause there only lessons I?ll learn

Chorus:

I?d rather burn with desire deep in my soul,

And love like a fire that?s out of control, and laugh and dance and fall

and chance and kiss

I?d rather live my whole life

with a sense of abandon,

Squeeze every drop out,

no matter what happens.

And not wonder what I've missed

I?d rather risk.

Well I guess I could just play it safe

and forget about love, hope and faith,

with my eye on the shore line,

keeping my boat tied and staying home,

Ohhh but I?ll never discover new land

by keeping my feet on the sand

No I?d rather set sail

and get carried away by the storm.

Chorus:

I?d rather burn with desire deep in my soul,

And love like a fire that?s out of control, and laugh and dance and fall

and chance and kiss

I?d rather live my whole life

with a sense of abandon,

Squeeze every drop out,

no matter what happens.

And not wonder what I've missed

I?d rather risk.

I would rather risk

I?d rather burn with desire deep in my soul,

And love like a fire that?s out of control,

I?d live my whole life

with a sense of abandon,

Squeeze every drop out

no matter what happens.

And not wonder what I've missed

Oh I just can?t resist,

The chance to risk

Ohhh live, and love and laugh and dance and fall and chance and kiss

I?d rather risk (x6)
