about

Sometimes in life you've just got to dive-in head-first and damn the consequences. When things feel like they're falling apart then all bets are off! The circumstances have changed, so burn your bridges, take a leap of faith and change direction, say what you think, be authentic, be honest, follow your instincts and trust your gut.

lyrics

ALL BETS ARE OFF
(Words & Music: S.Gibson)

We'll burn that bridge when we come to it
We'll dive in when we can
We'll head out into a world unknown
Won't bother with a back-up plan

We'll run up mountains at top speed
Swim for faraway boats
Drive for hours with broken headlights
Not worry about staying afloat

All bets are off
All bets are off

We'll bet on black like we're colourblind
We'll wander down darkened lanes
Spend our money in vintage shops
With dusty window panes

We'll buy tickets on ferries that cross strait
Drink with strangers in leather coats
We'll buy second-hand postcards in second-hand towns
Befriend writers of romantic notes

We'll brew our own beer, surf alone
let nothing stand in our way
we'll trust our hopes and not our fears
until there's nothing left to say

All bets are off
All bets are off

We'll wear worn-out jeans and our favourite shirt
Sleep in woven blankets
Swim in winter in harbour pools
graduate from the school of dissenters

We'll burn that bridge when we come to it
run up mountains at top speed
bet on black like we're colourblind
Carry only what we need

We'll brew our own beer, surf alone
let nothing stand in our way
we'll trust our hopes and not our fears
until there's nothing left to say

All bets are off
All bets are off x2

We'll brew our own beer, surf alone
let nothing stand in our way
we'll trust our hopes and not our fears
until there's nothing left to say

We'll brew our own beer, surf alone
let nothing stand in our way
we'll trust our hopes and not our fears
until there's nothing left to say

All bets are off
All bets are off
