The Phrase That Pays

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My eyes can't believe what they have seen In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories Oh, doctor, doctor I must have gotten this sick somehow I'm going to ask you a series of questions And I want them answered on the spot Right now "Is it serious?" "I'm afraid it is" "Am I gonna die?" "Well, son Death is gonna catch up to all one day But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours" Some things I may have taken for granted again and again Well, here's what was said then [Pre-Chorus 1] Hold your head high, heavy heart [Chorus] So take a chance and make it big 'Cause it's the last you'll ever get If we don't take it When will we make it I make plans to break plans And I've been planning something big Planning something big Planning [Verse 2] I never tried to make the best of my time When I thought that I had plenty of it Is this serious? I don't know what to think Is it all a lie? Well, one thing's for sure I'm taken back to the glory days When, when we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say Now my life is one make it or break it [Pre-Chorus 2] Hold your head high, heavy heart And save your strength for the morning after [Chorus] So take a chance and make it big 'Cause it's the last you'll ever get If we don't take it When will we make it I make plans to break plans And I've been planning something big Planing something big So take a chance and make it big 'Cause it's the last you'll ever get If we don't take it When will we make it I make plans to break plans And I've been planning something big Planning something big Planning [Instrumental Bridge] [Pre-Chorus 2] Hold your head high, heavy heart And save your strength for the morning after [Chorus] So take a chance and make it big 'Cause it's the last you'll ever get If we don't take it When will we make it I make plans to break plans And I've been planning something big Planing something big So take a chance and make it big 'Cause it's the last you'll ever get If we don't take it When will we make it I make plans to break plans And I've been planning something big Planning something big Planning
