Take It or Leave It Lyrics

Baby you should know by now that I'm right, for you.
But every time I step to you, you change your tune.
Sweet wheel of death keeps us holding our breathe.
I step to the right, you move to the left.
Unless no one else.
I'd rather die to myself.

Oh why, won't you make up your mind?
I think I must confess.
I'm starting to unwind.
I been trippin' over you.
So tell me something new.
Take It or Leave It.

Maybe I should pack my things and move on?
Maybe I'm foolin' myself and you're already gone?
Watching the flames wither and fade.
Trying to make sense of the look on your face.
I'm down, I'm an itch.
Just playin' that I can hold on.

Oh why, won't you make up your mind?
I think I must confess.
I'm learning to unwind.
I've been trippin' over you.
So tell me something new.
Take it or leave it.

Baby please.
Oh baby please.
Stay with me or cut me free.
Its all of me.
Oh why, wont you make up your mind?
I think I must confess.
I'm starting to unwind.
I been trippin' over you.
So tell me something new.
Take it or leave it.
Take it or leave it

Take It or Leave It

Vocalist Matt Shultz told the story of this song to MusicRadar.com : "We have a rehearsal cabin in Portland, Tennessee, which if you know anything about Portland, Tennessee, you know that only about 10 people live there," he said. "One day, the band was in the cabin, and Brad started playing this little guitar thing. Pretty soon, Jared started playing drums to it. Everyone jumped in and the song started to happen. It was one of those 'light-bulb' moments."

"We put together the verse, but the chorus didn't want to come to us," Shultz continued. "That was always a big problem with the song. We cut the track in the studio, but there was still no chorus. After a while, we started to get really down in the dumps, because at first this was the most promising song of all, and now it was just sitting there."

"One morning, I woke up in my living room, he concluded. "I picked up the guitar and the whole thing poured out. I literally sped down to Nashville to get to the studio to show it to the guys. We jumped right in and recorded it that day. Sometimes these things happen when they're gonna happen, and you just have to be patient."

The song's music video is set in a roller dancing contest. "I came up with the idea after seeing American Hustle," Shultz told Radio.com . "I just really liked the aesthetic, that kind of '70s disco, macho kind of thing. The video's kinda like Saturday Night Fever meets Skatetown USA, Patrick Swayze's first movie."

Shultz added, "We're like the backing band to this roller skating disco competition and the skaters that we got were amazing. Everything looked really authentic. It was awesome."

Look out for a surprise appearance from actress and and singer Juliette Lewis before the roller dancing begins.
