odds of a million to one
take a chance with me
we can shiver in the moonlight
and call it dancing
or if you’d prefer pitched up tents in the warmth
we can throw a ball for our fingers
you can have the fretted floor
and i will play the pen
and i’ll never go to space
with the menthol in these lungs
and i’ll never win a race
for who grows the tallest fastest
and i’ll never be the strongest man
but i certainly have loved
and i’ll certainly love again
my name is not casanova
i’m no chauvinist
my name is john donne
i practice good consent
my name isn’t fucking shakespeare
for while brilliant, it’s never all or nothing
while this corporate noose may look good on me
this pant suit may be the warmth i need
and dollar signs may be appealing
but unless the fed
starts printing your face
i’ll never be swept away
and i’ll never go to space
with the menthol in these lungs
and i’ll never win a race
for who grows the tallest fastest
and i’ll never be the strongest man
but i certainly have loved
and i’ll certainly love again
and i’ll certainly love again
the next time i see your face
and i’ll certainly love again
the next time i hear your voice
and i’ll certainly love again
the next time i see you online
and i’ll certainly love again
when you marathons through my mind
and i’ll never go to space
and i’ll never win a race
and i’ll never be the strongest man
but while my heart remains flexible
i’ll too remain victorious
