Verse 1
Its late again, night on a swivel
tryin to keep my head up
Gravity pulling me down
Down it goes, drown in dribble

Still more to be done
I'll get there tomorrow
May be a little late
Looking out for everyone

Pre-Chorus
How much gets left on the table
how much gets lost in the hum
How much of it gets called living
when the day is never done

Chorus
Thats the Trade-off
You gotta give some to get some
Life is a scale, always siding one way
Grass is the same shade, no matter
Where you stand

Verse 2
Gimmie a little of your time
I'll give you a little of mine
Through rain and shine
Yours and mine will rhyme

Post-Chorus
Thats the Trade-off
A little lost, a little gained
Some days hold, some days break
On and on and on we go

Hook Repeat
Thats the Trade-off
On and on and on we go

Final Chorus
Thats the Trade-off
You gotta give some to get some
Life is a scale, always siding one way
Grass is the same shade, no matter
Where you stand
