Take On The World

from songs from Wheelhouse by GrooveLily

/

about

This is a new studio recording, completed in Gene's basement and Brendan and Val's itty bitty home studio. We also made a video, filmed in Gene's basement and Brendan and Val's itty bitty home studio (and a nearby parking lot): youtu.be/YK8gCiCnqmM

The song fits in at the moment before Brendan has the disastrous idea to move into an RV: Val is home, booking the band and trying to roll the boulder up the hill while Brendan and Gene have focused their attention elsewhere.

lyrics

Every day I
do my share
chain myself to this
home office chair

I feel these walls close in on me
I'm nowhere near where I wanna be

and it's farther in the distance
every day
I'm fading away
from the life I want to lead where I will

CHORUS:
take on the world,
together we could
take 'em by storm,
like we said we would
but I don't know how
to follow our dreams
when you leave it to me to make them all come true

Temporary
is what we said
you'd bring home the bacon
and I'd make the bed

until we're on our
feet again
you'll quit the day job
and then

we'll be partners like we planned it.
Did you forget?
We had it all set.
Now it feels like you don't really wanna

CHORUS:
take on the world,
together we could
take 'em by storm,
like we said we would
but I don't know how
to follow our dreams
when you leave it to me to make them all come true
