Lyrics

Nothing happens when you're counting the cost

you fill the basket when the bread gets tossed

castaway upon the waterfront

step right in and take whatever you want

chorus 1:

It's a written guarantee

when I give it up to you

you give it back to me

It's a written guarantee

when I give it up to you

you give it back to me

Full of feelings that I couldn't afford

till I up and threw my heart overboard

take it all 'cause I remember when

I lost my life so you could find it again

chorus 2:

It's a written guarantee

when I give it up to you

you give it back to me

Who is gonna disagree

when I give it up to you

you give it back to me

Nothing happens when I'm counting the cost

you fill the basket when the bread gets tossed

(chorus 1)

(chorus 2)

(chorus 1)
