rachel kiel - high stakes lyrics

Loading...

(1, 2, 3…)

in the bathroom, 10 am
hiding from the mirror again, i’m a fool
and lately i’ve been feelin’ so uncool
doctor’s office, showed up late
asked me for my height and weight, she said
“hey, how’ve things been goin’ these days?”

and i said, doctor tell me where do i start?
skin peelin’ off in sheets, the awkward thumping of my heart
ambition’s made me ugly, it fills me with snakes
that’s the shame of the body, shame of these high, high stakes

i’m so lucky, i’ve got you
feels so good to finally do somethin’ right
and i can’t wait to see you tonight
friday you came to my show
hid my face, asked you to go, you said
“hon, where does all this embarrassment come from?”

and i said, honey tell me where do i start?
my hands won’t stop sweating and there’s ice around my heart
there’s a dream that’s so unsteady
yeah, it cries out when it breaks
that’s the trouble with the body
the trouble with these high, high stakes
come on and sit out on the porch with me
the air feels good on my face
and with your hand on my knee
you know that i’d be happy any place
and what a thrill to be so young
that you’re not sure that you’ll survive it
it’s a taste that’s always on my tongue
and it’s so sweet i can’t describe it

at a party, in a crowd
ate too much and talked too loud
felt so lame, wished i could forget my own name
stumbled home, got into bed
i said hey now, don’t you forget, you got your health
cause what else could i say to myself?

i could say, honey tell me where do i start?
with this song stuck in my throat and this worry in my heart
there’s a dream that says i’m ready and it gives just what it takes
that’s the trouble with the body
the trouble with these high, high stakes

yeah there’s a dream that says i’m ready
and it gives just what it takes
that’s the trouble with the body
the trouble with these high, high stakes
