lyrics

I hear them say you're one in a billion
that there's no other one for me
some fortune in a world full of cosmic possibility
but think about the odds for a second
there's no good reason for my "luck"
I can't allow the stars to claim responsibility

I got a theory, a proposition
you're not simply a victim to fate
still your heart gave me permission
to come right in

I know you don't need me
but you say that you want me
You could be doing fine alone
but still you chose to stick with me
even on the days when it's to understand
why you'd ever want to hold my hand
we're both aware you don't need me
but you chose me anyways

There's something 'bout the human condition
the fact that everyone is flawed
that gives this romance just a flair of serendipity
but if it all came down in a moment
there'd be no blame or shame to bear
we'll love and lose again for a while in perpetuity

I got a theory, a proposition
you're not simply a victim to fate
but still your heart gave me permission
to come right in

I know you don't need me
but you swear that you want me
You could be doing fine alone
but still you chose to stick with me
even on the days when it's to understand
why you'd ever want to hold my hand
we're both aware you don't need me
but you chose me anyways
