about
Recorded in Ōhinehou / Lyttelton, New Zealand at Basement Studio, ‘Offer Down’ is the first single from a collaboration between Parsons and producer Josh Logan, who between them play all the instruments on the song.
“‘Offer Down’ had been kicking around for a while; the lyrical idea was a bit of a view into the slog behind the scenes and the idea that the overnight success is usually preceded by a lot of rejection and persistence,” says Parsons.
lyrics
Offer Down
If there’s an offer down, offer on the table
If there’s an offer down, take it if you’re able
Don’t you worry if they say no, keep on trawling
Headwind all the way home, keep on pushing
And so it goes, one day and then another
With every turn of the globe, line in the sand keeps shifting
It’s coming round to your turn
It’s coming round to your time in the sun
If there’s an offer down, offer on the table
If there’s an offer down, take it if you’re able
You’ve been working hard, keep getting knocked back
Those bruises will callous, paying off down the track
Been getting turned down, doors closing up in your face
Don’t you play too keen, hang back, treat ‘em a bit mean
It’s coming round to your turn
It’s coming round to your time in the sun
If there’s an offer down, offer on the table
If there’s an offer down, take it if you’re able
