about

This song had my heart from the moment I uttered the phrase, ‘Bet on Your Love’. I wrote the song in Nashville with co-writer Jess Cates and producer Matt Bronleewe. It has this nostalgic, reminiscent effect that I think a lot of people relate to which is why it sort of stays stuck in your head. While writing this song I didn’t have a certain person or story in mind and now I’m so grateful I didn’t. The song has evolved a lot for me over the past 2 years of sharing it and performing it. When I sing it now I feel my purpose so deeply because the love I’m singing about is music itself. Everyday I bet my life on this journey with music. I hope this song reminds you of something or some love that you wouldn’t change regardless of the outcome—something or someone that has transformed you so monumentally that you would bet on it again and again.

lyrics

If I had to start again
Face the cold and brave the wind
Take a chance to love again
It'd still be you
You were like the morning sun
Breaking through my heart of stone
Nothing like your rays of light
Surrounding me

I would go back in time
Lay it all on the line
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love, your love again
Still give you my all
Let you unlock my soul
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love, your love again

Lifted up my world inside
Were my wings when I couldn't fly
Kept my secrets every time
You just felt right
Some things you can't control
Some roads don't lead back home
I won't let these memories go
I just want you to know

I would go back in time
Lay it all on the line
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love, your love again
Still give you my all
Let you unlock my soul
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love, your love again

Wherever you are I wish you the best
Guess that our love didn't pass the test
I'm not ready like you
Go ahead and call me a fool
Wherever you are I wish you the best
Guess that our love didn't pass the test
I'm not ready like you
So go ahead and call me a fool

I would go back in time
Lay it all on the line
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love again
Still give you my all
Let you unlock my soul
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love, your love again

Oh I'd bet on your love baby
Oh I'd bet on your love
I'd bet on your love
Your love, your love, your love again
