| If I could take half the fire from my lips
|
| Put it in your heart, and rub it on the tip of your tongue
|
| We’d be almost even
|
| If I could rev you up and leave you in neutral
|
| Feeling out the gears and never locking fully in Drive
|
| We’d be almost even
|
| Hey, we’d be…
|
| Almost even
|
| If you could swim halfway I would throw you a short line
|
| Almost even
|
| Well, I’m not the cruel kind
|
| But baby I’d make an exception this time
|
| If I could pick you up when you’re shiny and new
|
| Show you off, pack you up, and shelve you with my other old toys
|
| We’d be almost even
|
| Hey, we’d be…
|
| Almost even
|
| If I could push you off a cliff and say «I'll catch you the next time»
|
| Almost even
|
| Well, I’m not the cruel kind
|
| But baby I’d make an exception this time
|
| Aii, Aii, Aii, Aii
|
| Almost even
|
| If you could swim halfway I’d throw you a short line
|
| Almost even
|
| Well, I’m not the cruel kind
|
| But baby I’d make an exception, I’m…
|
| Almost even
|
| If I could push you off a cliff and say «I'd catch you if I had the time»
|
| Almost even
|
| Well, I’m not the cruel kind
|
| But baby I’d make an exception
|
| I’m not the cruel kind
|
| But baby I’d make an exception
|
| I’m not the cruel kind
|
| But baby I’d make an exception this time
|
| Aii, Aii, Aii, Aii |
