The odds are stacked against us, friend I know that our short time depends on it No, we can't treat it lightly Oh, it will likely kill me That I must live without you 'Cause I can't swim To be here in distant dream Full-knowing we're incomplete The odds are stacked against our love I'm always wakin' up when he is sleepin' still The catalyst, I know I plummet to the depths With no reasonin', one reason was the birds singin' I curled in a ball and thought of you and all you meant I'll compose myself, I'll get over it Though I can't tell if this is better To be left another lesson learned? Learned, learned, learned
