Out of place, losing face again Afraid your lover fell from grace again Your friends all say that they mean well Then they say the hell he's working late They help you speculate Then they leave you there to sit and wait Your heart can tell that something's wrong Still you carry on against the odds Seems we always live our life against the odds Nothing's ever going right Still the only time that gave you peace of mind Was the time you started out against the odds You find yourself and lose somebody else You try to change but you know nothing helps It's fine to wonder who you are It rarely gets you far against the odds Seems we always live our life against the odds Nothing's ever going right Still the only time that gave you peace of mind Was the time you started out against the odds The odds are that you could find another love Your friends tell you never mind the one you put your heart in One that's such a part of you But still the only time that gave you peace of mind Was the time you started out against the odds And the times you worked it out against the odds *
