odds

This has got to be a joke
The universe f**kin hates my guts
reminding me “U” and “I” dont 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

HOOK
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, no
but there’s nobody else I want oh, oh
don’t care how long it takes, my heart is yours to break
I’m never giving up against all odds

You’re the mind-game mastermind
but what I’d give to make that mind mine to lose
oh, yeah
coz 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

I know it’s pathetic but I couldn’t care less
I’d wait until the stars uncross and say yes
I’ll always try to get you
Oooh!

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