7 Degrees

[Verse 1]

Dad had said when we were young

There’s seven ties between us and anyone

We’d ever wish to meet

One’s your ma

And two’s your friends

Three’s the one that broke your heart

And then threw ya to your knees

Four’s the asshole in disguise

And we don’t ever speak of five

And six is just really mean

But there is one, I tell ya

One who’s gonna help ya

Anytime you’re ever in need

[Chorus]

Seven degrees

And just one more for you and me

We’re souls in a line

Waiting to meet

Waiting for that summer breeze

To throw us in each other’s arms

We’re severed souls with seven more degrees

[Verse 2]

Now I have searched and I have crawled

I have drank at every bar

But still I sit and weep

One was something, two was four

Ah, I can’t count it anymore

I’m losing it, ya see

Some might say the well is dry

But I just pray I’m living wise

And waiting on my beat

[Chorus]

Seven degrees

And just one more for you and me

We’re souls in a line

Waiting to meet

Waiting for that summer breeze

To throw us in each other’s arms

We’re severed souls with seven more degrees

[Bridge]

I’m counting out the days, you see

Yeah, I’m counting out the days till we meet

And I’m so excited

But we’re souls divided

And I’ve been counting

Four, five, six and a one, two, three

But those numbers don’t mean much to me

[Chorus]

It’s seven degrees

And just one more for you and me

We’re souls in a line

Waiting to meet

Waiting for that summer breeze

To throw us in each other’s arms

We’re severed souls with seven more

We’re severed souls with seven more

We’re severed souls forever

Seven more degrees
