Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it!

Lyrics

Down To The Wire

Sittin' in limbo tryin' to get higher
Wonderin' if my points are about to expire
Looks like I'm standin' in the line of fire
It's Down To The Wire.

Hangin' out on my route lookin' for buyer
Send me a friendly who's a frequent flyer
Condition red, don't know what's about to transpire
It's Down To The Wire

Ch
Down To The Wire
Feelin' closed in
Trapped by desire
Wherever I've been
Always on the lookout for a
New day to begin
Keep playin' the game but there's
No way to win

Still sittin' in limbo tryin' to get higher
So many questions I'm afraid to enquire
Gotta keep my head down, dodging crossfire
It's Down To The Wire

Down To The Wire
Down To The Wire
Down To The Wire

Very deft rhyming of 'wire' all the way through! This has the urgency and danger of a road movie soundtrack.

So glad you did. Your song is so passionate, dynamic and catchy. Great feel of the energy and the wire. Fun to listen to. Fantastic performance and production 🎶
