The song was written in the summer of 2012, and recorded in September of that same year. In many ways, this song perfectly embodies a fusion of the rock influences in my past, and current contemporary country rock sounds.
lyrics
Ballpoint pen and wrinkled page
Plus a memory I'm trying to save
She thinks her love comes in last place
But there's not a chance for that disgrace
I swore to her my truth was this
There is nothing more than her special kiss
Seems I'm a devil in a heavenly space
I'm a consolation prize, after a frantic chase
I'm a player, but I'm the game
I'm the love that remains the same
I'm a challenge she can't tame
I'm the love that remains the same
The cards she was dealt ain't promising
The ace is wild but she needs a king
She has the faith to kneel and pray
And sometimes hopes for that special day
I'm a player, but I'm the game
I'm the love that remains the same
I'm a challenge she can't tame
I'm the love that remains the same
There's nothing much that I can do or say
Except wait for her to run away
Love at once, is certain to be bliss
But becomes the time we're sure to miss
'cause we're sure to miss...
I'm a player, but I'm the game
I'm the love that remains the same
I'm a challenge she can't tame
I'm the love that remains the same
