Odds

(album: Wanna Take This Downtown? - 2019)

This has got to be a joke, the universe fucking hates my guts
Reminding me you and I don't spell 'us'
We share different postal codes, maybe that's why I never got the memo
She's the real deal and I was just a pretty demo
And yet my world remains the whole of you to this day
Doesn't matter what my location says
I'm always tryna get to you, but shit just happens all the time

When I'm there, you're not, you're here, I'm caught up with my job
And your clingy ex comes back a lot, then she leaves and you shoot your shot
But there's someone new I've got, and the cycle never stops, no
But there's nobody else I want, oh
Don't care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break
I'm never giving up, against all odds
No, no, no, no, ugh, yeah

You're the mind-game master-mind, but
What I'd give to make that mind mine to lose, oh, yeah
'Cause I know you've got somebody
My friends say I could have anybody now that I'm somebody
But I don't care if I'm nobody to you, oh
I know it's pathetic, but I couldn't care less
I'd wait until the stars I'm crossing say yes
I'll always try to get to you, ohh

When I'm there, you're not, you're here, I'm caught up with my job
And your clingy ex comes back a lot, then she leaves and you shoot your shot
But there's someone new I've got, and the cycle never stops, no
But there's nobody else I want, oh
Don't care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break
I'm never giving up, against all odds

Never in my damn favor
I don't want you for later
Never was much of a waiter
But I'd wait on you to drink you in
Guess it serves me right for even thinking

When I'm there you should, I don't know, like call up your boss
Probably take the day off
Maybe we could change the odds

When I'm there, you're not, you're here, I'm caught up with my job
And your clingy ex comes back a lot, then she leaves and you shoot your shot
But there's someone new I've got, and the cycle never stops, no
But there's nobody else I want, oh
Don't care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break
I'm never giving up, against all odds
