I'm Ready
Seeley Drew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think we're different
That we're worlds apart
I think that we're the same
Deep down, in our hearts

You think that I'm a fool
Don't know who you are
But you're wrong, you will bruise

If I win, if I lose

It don't matter what tricks you got up your sleeve
It don't matter whose house is, who's on the street
All I know is I, I would give everything
Guess I'm ready, ready, ready as I'm ever gonna be

Don't have the answers
For the questions yet
But if the dream is real
How bad can it get?

This face you're looking at
You'll never forget
Stand tall in these shoes
If I win, if I lose

It don't matter what tricks you got up your sleeve
It don't matter whose house is, who's on the street
All I know is I, I would give everything
Guess I'm ready, ready, ready as I'm ever gonna be

(I'm ready, ready)
I'm ready for whatever
(I'm ready, ready, I'm ready, ready)
Life throws my way
(I'm ready, ready)

Ooh, I'm ready for you
(I'm ready, ready, I'm ready, ready)
If I win, if I lose
(I'm ready, ready)
It don't matter what you do

It don't matter what tricks you got up your sleeve
It don't matter whose house is, who's on the street
All I know is I, I would give everything
Guess I'm ready, ready, ready as I'm ever gonna be

It don't matter what tricks you got up your sleeve
It don't matter whose house is, who's on the street

All I know is I, I would give everything
Guess I'm ready, ready, ready as I'm ever gonna be
