The Odds

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
