The Odds Lyrics

Maybe we're the lucky ones

Cause we can choose to turn it off

Maybe we're the lonely ones

Cause we decide to shield what's soft



I'm sure you'll learn to dance and drink and dream

But you might still feel lost

And I see myself in you my friend

But I would break where you would bend

I'm calling on what you defend

And tonight I won't hold back



Just don't waste all your years

Believing in the fear

You'll choke out what's alive

And make what's wrong be all that's real



I can see you're weakened at the seams

And trying to swim upstream

But can't find a way



So here we are again trying to hold back

The tides behind our eyes

The lucky ones trying to drink

From both the wells we claim are dry



I guess I've found some freedom in

Embracing every time they pry

And I see myself in you my friend

But I would break where you would bend

I'm calling on what they defend

And tonight I won't hold back



Just don't waste all your years

Believing in your fear

You'll choke out what's alive

And make what's wrong be all that's real



We're both the same

You're just like me



And when your skin finally sheds

You'll find your nerves all in shreds

The price may be to keep your heart

You'll lose your head
