Hoosiers, The - Make Or Break (You Gotta Know) Lyrics






I'm sick and tired of being told I'm an impatient boy
I took the bait and made a beeline for your heart
You left me broken on the floor like a discarded toy
I should've known it from the start

My destination is the place where only fools rush in
Too quick to trace the paces of my racing heart
Gung-ho I steal a starring role in your biography
I dreamt I'd graced the pages, from the start

(You gotta know) With every little step, I'll follow
Wherever you may go
(I really love you) And I would beg or steal or borrow
Just to let you know

You sow a seed I can't delete, it grew such hope in me
Your sunshine face, your branches wrapped around my soul
Left to neglect, it grew so sweetly wild, it's choking me
How could I ever let it go?

(You gotta know) With every little step, I'll follow
Wherever you may go
(I really love you) And I would beg or steal or borrow
Just to let you know

I rolled the dice it was a chance I was prepared to take
Not ever one to think that ignorance was bliss
I took the plunge safe in the knowledge that it was make or break
And either way I know it's, worth the risk

(You gotta know) With every little step, I'll follow
Wherever you may go
(I really love you) And I would beg or steal or borrow
Just to let you know

(You gotta know) These words will make or break my sorrow
Make you stay or make you go
(I really love you) And even if you're gone tomorrow
At least I'll know you know

You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow
You gotta slow down, boy
You'll get another chance tomorrow

    Sounds an awful lot like Shutup and dance Hmmmmmmmmm

  9. C.... ....

    Holy shit I forgot about this band.
    The Trick to Life was the first thing I ever bought without my parents permission.
    I was 9 years old

    I highly recommend this Band! If you're just surfing Vevo vids and see this, stop and listen to this band. They are amazing.

  19. I.... H....

    Am I right in saying sections of this video are recorded backwards? If so, great work! Creative video, great song!

  20. D.... ....

    Also i mean they could have done a little better on the music video not really tht great but tthats my opinion

  21. A.... B....

    Reminds me of the movie fishtank on netflix.

  23. M.... ....

    Great lyrics and great video,I saw you 5 years ago in Bataclan in Paris, great evolution!!!

  24. C.... I....

    This is way too drastic a change to goodye mister a

    C.... I....

    It's been 7 years and they no longer have a record label to fund such a production.

    C.... I....

    @Daphne
    Poor them

  25. A.... I....

    A.... I....

    @Awkward Italian Girl yes holy shit! almost all of there music does for some reason....

  26. W.... _....

    The start sounds so fosterthepeople. The Hoosiers is one of my fav band that havent received much attention:(

  27. l.... ....

    The Hoosiers are so underrated, it makes me so mad. 

    l.... ....

    leila Ikr! You got these fake singers and you have great singers that are forgotten

    l.... ....

    Hello.
    Their second "old pop" album dropped them so DOWN. "Illusion of safety" was a style mistake.
    Anyway THEY LL FUCKING COME BACK WITH THE BEST!!!

  28. S.... O....

    I love the Hoosiers. Is my favorite band. I want they conde to brazil.

  29. T.... C....

    Check Out My Original Song on my channel if you want your mind to be blown. And oh this bitch is ok 

  30. t.... ....

    have you guys cut the budget in your videos now and gone for a more pop sound than your general amazing wackyness? please say no

    t.... ....

    Cutting the budget is kinda necessary when they no longer have a record label to fund that stuff for them. Your comment was half a year ago, so sorry if you really don't care anymore, or you've changed your mind, but it has to be said, this is as similar to pop at the moment as The Trick to Life's singles were to pop at the time it was released. 

  31. J.... J....

    hey this was published on my birthday

  32. G.... F....

    Well guys you've done it again, you've made yet another great album :)
