We had it made for almost one whole day
I sat like a king and she sat like a queen
Which means, she always saved a slice for me
To devour late at night
When I should have had the kingdom on my mind, I didn't
Fought the war, but couldn't win it.
Sometimes everything you've got
Just ain't enough to make it work
That's why I always pray for the best and prepare for the worst
Stop, close your eyes but try to see
There may not be a storm coming today
Tomorrow, who knows?
The weather is so unpredictable
So, here's to the weathermen and women who refuse to give in and accept that no matter how close they get
We're not gonna make it out alive.
Even if we did we would just party so hard that we'd die.
I don't practice my religion
So call it a blessing or a curse
Either way, I will pray for the best and prepare for the worst
Ya, I'm prepared for the worst.
Are you prepared for the..
Sometimes everything you've got
Just ain't enough to make it work
That's why I always pray for the best and prepare for the worst

The Hair

She smiled at me
I should have seen those teeth
Too much too soon, too little too late
History repeats. And repeats. And repeats. And repeats
The doctor said
“This one comes easy, just take these every day at 5”
I lost the bottle, day 1, somehow I survived
By smoking the hair of the dog
Ya, I smoked the hair of the dog that bit me and it cured me.
I swear
It was the hair
Modern medicine didn't get me anywhere
Get a grip
Or let it slip away while you still can
Our bodies were built to fight infections like this one
But a little extra kick never did anyone any harm
Never did anyone any harm
So I smoked the hair of the dog
I smoked the hair of the dog that bit me and it cured me
I swear
It was the hair
Modern medicine didn't get me anywhere
Some people have to make the same mistake 1000 times before they learn what they knew all along
Ya, you and I knew, all along
That we both knew, all along

Hold Me

I've definitely seen this somewhere
Before you open up your mouth
Double check your tongue
Cuz everybody knows the night's are getting cold
I recognize that tone
I hear it screaming
Hold, hold me like you used to.
Hold, hold me like you used to.
You might have the same legs, hair, and lips
But you're not the same person I fell in love with
I know it seems like a safe bet
But so is the gun under my pillow so I think I'll just shoot myself in the foot
Hold, hold me like you used to.
Hold, hold me like you used to.
You might have the same legs, hair and lips
But you're not the same person I fell in love with
I know it seems like a safe bet
But so is the gun under my pillow so I think I'll just shoot myself in the foot

You've been giving me that look since I walked in
I wonder if it matches up with my manifest
But curiosity ain't the killer that I am
And feline's always rock the sexiest nightwear
This is not as easy as we make it look (We make you look)
If you wanna know the secret
You're gonna have to get your head out of the books
Get your head out of the books
You can kill a million birds with just one stone if you watch to see where the stone lands
Pick it up, dust it off, say some words, carry on,
Save it for another rainy day
This is not as complicated as we make it seem (We hem our seams)
But if you wanna know how it's done
You're gonna have to do more than read
Into every single cover, in-between every single line
Because nobody gets anywhere without patience and her sisters by their side
Patience by your side
Sisters by your side
Patients and persistence by your side.
So choose a side
Choose a side

You say you want the earth
Well, who doesn't?
You claim that you deserve more
You act like you're addicted to something with no addictive properties at all
But if you don't believe (If you don't believe)
Then how could it exist? (How could it exist)
If you never take a hint, let alone a single second, babe
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to give you anything
So I said some thoughts I felt
But, you didn't hear a sound
It's like arguing when trees fall and nobody's around
But if you don't believe (If you don't believe)
Then how could it exist? (How could it exist)
If you never take a hint, let alone a single second, babe
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to give you anything
It's not hard to guess the plot line
When the roots have been revealed
But that doesn't mean it's easy to put it into words
But if you don't believe (If you don't believe)
Then how could it exist? (How could it exist)
If you never take a hint, let alone a single second, babe
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to give you anything
I'd give you anything
