"Tough Call" lyrics

"Tough Call"

The rabbit foot ain't lucky for the rabbit
The wishbone isn't really very lucky for the bird
Mantis just prays of habit
And the falling tree could give a fuck what you heard 'cause

Eso sí que es
That's the way it goes, I guess
C'est la vie to mon chéri
If you're on that French tip
Don't say it lightly
I'm saying it out of friendship
Life will you mess you up, but love
You can't hold that against it

I guess we're even
Call it even
They say to suffer is a virtue
But sometimes pain just hurts you
Call it even
Ah don't believe them

Sometimes you're rung by the bell curve
Do or not deserve is nonsense
No cause for crisis conscience
Sometimes the good guy's a bad shot
Sometimes the bad guy gets off
There's not a plot to lose
It's all chance reunions
Mass confusion
You don't have to grow from it
You just gotta to get though
Even if you don't wanna
Even when it hurts you
Here's to the ones got away
Grief on the holidays
These tears they're just water weight

Well I guess we're even
Call it even
They say to suffer is a virtue
But sometimes pain just hurts you
Call it even
Just cause there's a reason
Doesn't mean it happened for a good cause
Even apple-eating Eve in Eden
Caught a tough call
We all fall down
The bells pound
Try to make it off the ground
'Fore the ten count

They say it's fate
You should find some meaning in it
I try not to take it personal
I think it's mostly physics
Rollers gotta coast
Close enough keep it moving
We can fix that shit in post
Holy Ghost, how we doing
I've played basements
An opera house
A burned-out hospital
I missed some easy shots
Pulled off the impossible
But can't bottle lightning
Just gotta stand where it's striking
Now open the umbrella
And with both hands hold tightly 'cause

Sometimes you're rung by the bell curve
Do or not deserve is nonsense
No cause for crisis conscience
Sometimes the good guy's a bad shot
Sometimes the bad guy gets off
There's not a plot to lose
It's all chance reunions
Mass confusion
You don't have to grow from it
You just gotta to get though
Even when you don't wanna
Even if it hurts you
Here's to the ones got away
Grief on the holidays
These tears they're just water weight
