what are the odds

I saw you standing there, and I had just walked into the room
I could barely speak, I was caught up in the sight of you
Unpack your bags, while I try not unpack my baggage
But you're so easy to talk to
And, what are the odds that you are
The one who had to steal my heart
And, what are the odds that you are
The one who had to steal my heart
And I can't believe, that the fates would have it be
You're right in front of me, the one I feel I've needed
For all of my life, but I'm so scared inside
I don't wanna lose you
And, what are the odds that you are
The one who had to steal my heart
And, what are the odds that you are
The one who had to steal my heart
I thought I could've hidden it, I thought I could've run
Cause I can't mess this up, I can't be the one
That drives you away, when I want you to stay
And I guess I could just knock, but I've got second thoughts
And, what are the odds that you are
The one who had to steal my heart
And, what are the odds that you are
The one who had to steal my heart

As I stop to think about all of the thoughts I have
I stand and stare at myself in the mirror, tryna make it clearer
Why I always want you nearer, when you're the closest thing I got to me
Back and forth, I toss the words inside my head again
They linger coldly and they make themselves louder when she's over
Why must I be undercover, tryna hide the hate I have for
Her
How is she the one that has your heart
How was I not casted as the part
I had a three month head start
But I guess I waited too long across the hall
You brought her over for the party and she's got your hand
I'm downing Solo after Solo cup of something Jackie made me
I told her make it strong, won't mind the taste when
All I taste is bitter cause
She
She's the one that gets to have your heart
She's the one that's casted as your counterpart
Even though I had a head start
I guess I waited too long across the hall
Across the hall, I sit in silence as I kick myself again
Oh, why did I not go over and tell you I want to be more than just friends
I don't have a chance anymore
Now the door is shut and I am a muck
And jealous of your girl
Oh, cause she
She's the one that gets to have your heart
She's the one that's casted as your counterpart
What's the use of having a head start
If I'm using to wait across the hall
Across the hall

I thought I was prepared
I thought I had it in the bag
But the teachers never taught me this
How to quietly bite my tongue
All that I wanted, all I ever sought
Holding my heart as I walk down the path
See the footprints as I go back
All the memories lined in branches
I hope the sun will peek through the clouds
But the rain is always coming
Well, don't worry, I have my umbrella
Though the drizzle before got me damp
It's a long way from home here
So I will have to travel as I am
And so much for wanting, this is all I got
I dropped my heart a couple times and got a little lost
Feel my footprints as I go back
All my memories lined in branches
I hope the sun will peek through the clouds
And make the streak of storms be broken
The more that I want this, the more it goes away
I was following a bird, she didn't want to stay
I walk our footprints as I go back
Through all of our memories lined in the branches
I hope the sun will peek through the clouds
I pray to god that I won't be drowned out
