Wendy Waldman - Evening Up the Odds lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I've been looking at the numbers And it makes me really scared And I can't help but wonder How we'll ever get anywhere Hope can die so young Long before the race is run [Chorus] And the odds are, we're all gonna get our hearts broken someday And the odds are, some of our dreams will get left along the way And every time you hold me close, it's the light against the dark And here we are, evening up the odds Evening up the odds [Verse 2] And I want you to tell me How safe I am with you And how our hearts together Can't help but make it through And for every love that leaves There's a love that's meant to be [Chorus] And the odds are, we're all gonna get our hearts broken someday And the odds are, some of our dreams will get left along the way And every time you hold me close, it's the light against the dark And here we are, evening up the odds Evening up the odds [Bridge] Smile a smile for every tear that falls Life's not fair, but darling after all Here we are, here we are [Instrumental break] [Chorus] And the odds are, we're all gonna get our hearts broken someday And the odds are, some of our dreams will get left along the way And every time you hold me close, it's the light against the dark And here we are, evening up the odds Evening up Evening up Evening up the odds
