lyrics
I’d hate to lead with my chin and take a heavy hit
but I don’t wanna save my best punch
and never get a chance to throw it
so sometimes you gotta go for it
‘cause if you’re stuck in the way that it was
then you’ll always be missing the way it is
when you’ve got a pinball heart
I know sometimes it’s hard
but sometimes you gotta go for it
‘cause you can always turn around
don’t confuse courage with pride
it turns out nothing’s permanent
so don’t keep it locked inside
‘cause sometimes you gotta go for it
‘cause if you’re stuck in the way that it was
then you’ll always be missing the way it is
when you’ve got a pinball heart
I know sometimes it’s hard
but sometimes you gotta go for it
‘cause I been holding on too tight
to all the hands I never won
trying to settle up a losing score
I may be down but I’m not done
and I don’t know if I can steer this craft straight
there are mountains lying in wait
this could all be a giant mistake
but sometimes you gotta go for it
‘cause if you’re stuck in the way that it was
then you’ll always be missing the way it is
when you’ve got a pinball heart
I know sometimes it’s hard
but sometimes you gotta go for it
