lyrics

Shuffle on the concrete broken and cracked
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
All the way there and now you're back
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
Asking all the people who you know
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
do you hold on or do you let go?
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When you want it so much, its hard to explain.
It brings so much joy, so much pain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

So many times you stumble and fall
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
You start to wonder if its worth it at all
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
But you do what you love though you don't (always) know why
-nothing ventured, nothing gained-
because the greatest failure is never to try.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When you want it so much, its hard to explain.
It brings so much joy, so much pain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
When you want it so much, its hard to explain.
It brings so much joy, so much pain.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
