"Odds Are" lyrics

"Odds Are"

Odds are I'm leaving this town
Gotta head it up two ways upside down
Everything I see is a memory somehow
You look like my last past life
I remember you a little when the lighting's right
Maybe there's still something that I gotta work out

And I feel the blank stares
But we both know I can't turn down a dare
Well, why did you do it, why'd you lick those tongs?
The ones you just got raw meat on?
Well, I don't know why but I just can't let you win again

I spaced out and walked past my street
I got lost in thinking something but the thoughts were cheap
Maybe it's a sign that I gotta move on
You scare me when you talk about change
Like I'm holding onto something that we can't maintain
Do you remember the warm things that used to run through our veins?

And we're playing games again
But it's only ever pretend
Well, why did you do it, why'd you eat that lime?
After it made you barf last time?
Well, I don't know why but I just can't let you win again

I saw you take a picture of the sun
Rising over my street when the drive was done
Send it to her phone first thing in the morning
And I think it hurts most when I see you at a show
With your heads pressed together and the lights down low
I guess that's a feeling you already know too well

Well, I turned around last night
And I thought I saw you standing in the street light
Oh, why did you do it, fall in love again?
Especially this time with your best friend?
Well, I don't know why but I think we all deserve another try
Yeah, I don't know why but I think my odds are good this time
