The Odds Lyrics - The Loved Ones

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
