lyrics

Well it was just one night
But I been holding on so tight
Never been on the other side of this
Holding my hand out hoping for a kiss

And I know you're not the type
To settle down, play the wife
I only need you for a little while
Then you can toss me out into the pile

I want to be one of the lucky ones
I want to feel your love grind me to dust
Chew me up and spit me out again
You know that I'll come crawling back again

Just a number in a long, long line
Of those of us who held your gaze, for a time
Take the best of me and when your done
I'll count myself among the lucky ones

And yes I know the phrase "Out of my league"
This could be just a phase, I know you're just a tease
But none of that matters to me now
I'm just a wave crashing across your bow

Oh I'll take any shape, I'll fill any space, that you'll allow
Don't care 'bout savin' face, don't care 'bout bleedin' out
I'm an anvil, you're a hammer
I'll take my pain pills, I'm so enamored with

The lucky ones
I want to feel your love grind me to dust
Chew me up and spit me out again
You know that I'll come crawling back again

Just a number in a long, long line
Of those of us who held your gaze, for a time
Take the best of me and when your done
I'll count myself among the lucky ones
