50 / 50

I get lost in the middle
It always happens so fast
But you know we write our best songs
After the first date and the last

Oh, even the perfect wave
Oh, ends with you falling off the board
Oh, I suppose I am perfecting my fall

We could only be lovers
We could never be friends
Friends don't tear each other's clothes off
Friends don't cry when it ends

Oh, I don't care if we burn up
Oh, I know the fire will be great
Oh, and when Mardi Gras is over, we'll spread the ashes on our face

I tried to give you up
But I gave up every time
Man when you're in love, everything's a goddamn sign

The odds are always fifty fifty
It either happens or it don't
I got my thumb under the coin
Praying that it won't
