This is..
What is..
What if you..
Don't get it like I...
Want you to?
So roll the dice
And there goes my
Rule number 2
So roll the dice
And don't ask why
Just keep followin' me
Cuz I'm followin' you
If she stays with you then you were right
It's still here when she's gone, you're not wrong,
And though stand with this rain on my back
But it feels so damn good
To belong...
This is
What I
Think I need
These big fat feelings
They hurt my cheek
So roll the dice
And there goes my
Rule Number 2
Yeah...
Roll the dice
And don't ask why
Just keep eating the food
And if she stays with you then you were right
It's still here when she's gone, you're not wrong
And though I stand with this rain on my back
An' it feels so damn good
To belong...
Rule number 2
Don't be a fool
Rule number 3
Get up off your knees
Rule number 4
Open the door
Rule number 5
Keep it alive
Rule number 6
Don't be a wicks
And rule number 8
Don't leave it too late
Rule number 9
Just take your time
Rule number 1
Carpé diem...
