The Odds

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 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 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
