Story behind the song
Kati and I met through our good friend Rob Woo and had been wanting to work together for a while before we did this song. I came up with the music and the title and then Katie came up with the great lyrics for the track. I came up with a melody, adapted it to Kati's natural strengths then we started recording. Kati sang, I produced and Rob engineered the recording session before I took it back and edited it in Pro Tools.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
You try so hard to be consistent,
When Everybody is on your back.
If you only had a minute,
You could get yourself on track.
But it's long before the finish
Looking farther from the fall.
And where you had begun from
You weren't really there at all.
CHORUS
So are you gonna win?
Are you gonna break?
Are you into it?
How much can you take?
BRIDGE (x2)
You're stopping and going, trying to fix your gaze upon
A door that has just opened, though it feels more like a wall.
And each time the world hands you a detour or a clue,
You're stuck inside yourself, afraid it's gonna sabotage you.
VERSE 2
You're looking for the sun
But it's a neverending night.
The fever you had acquired
Is now a world of blinding light.
And time's forever ticking
But you can make it stop.
It's all in what you make it
How you plan to get on top.
CHORUS (x2)
So are you gonna win?
Are you gonna break?
Are you into it?
How much can you take?
