The Odds

The Odds

Loved Ones (The)
(album: Keep Your Heart)

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
