The Odds

Julia Marcell

You look like you could use a drink
Silence's a cheat
Don't let it sing

Don't let it tell you what to think
Don't let it fool you
That all of the odds
Are stacked against you

When all of your notions crack in the middle
All of your guesses vex you a little
Think of the odds
How out of the ordinary
We are here at all

All of the fights, all the rights, all the riddles
We are stuck in here
In this design
We could
See what it can do

Times we've been odd to one another...
Oh, how rare
A gift you are

Oh, I know we're not always easy with each other
But come on
It's worked this far

All of you notions crack in the middle
All of your guesses may vex me a little
But given the odds
How out of the ordinary
We are here at all

All of the fights, all the rights, all the riddles
I am stuck in here
In this design
With you
Let's see what it can do
