the last thing that i want to do right now   is scream one more line   about the words that fall from your mouth   landing somewhere just short of my feet   some long, sad, boring list of let downs   that i have talked about a thousand times before   some spark i thought i saw in you   needed to see in you   wished i could see in you   but was just a damn bluff   i threw away aces and you showed me deuces   the key is having the guts to raise with    the second highest hand   i have spent so much time   folding bad cards and eating my words   i抳e said some awful things to some real good people   that now i no longer have a problem admitting when i am wrong   and can just sit back and wait for the next deal to come   and if the worst thing in my life   is long-ass rides and hug filled good-byes   and i can still be mystified   by pretty smiles, crushes and mix tapes   then i guess things really aren抰 so bad   and i have never known much about silver linings   but i can look around this van and see   five faces that breath life into me   kings full of jacks   splash my chips across the table   take my shot   i抦 all in
