Wildcard 04:46
This is like a board game, wanna play, Shake shake, roll the dice, will it be your lucky day? Boy, it's my lucky day, oh boy it's my lucky day. This is like your fortune, on the wheel, Take a spin yeah, you win, but you had to make a deal. So, I made a dirty deal, so what I made a dirty deal? 1, 2, 3 get ready get set, Doing everything you can so that you can be the best. Hey I got to be the best, oh hey I got to be the best. 4, 5, 6 yes living in a contest, cross the finish line we’re dust just like the rest. Ashes to ashes dust to dust get back to work like the rest of us. 52 cards in a deck. I choose one and move ahead. I thought I got the ace. I got the joker instead. Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the illest of them all? Tell me I'll always be the illest, always be the illest. And if I stumble if I fall, I'm not worried at all, Cause I'm a genie in a bottle I grant my own wish, Belly button to the bottom I swish-swish my hips. We are the wildcard... You know who we are we are the wild card. *whistle* Oh life if full of gambling. No promises no guarantee. (No guarantee, you can promise me) Oh life. They didn't make it so easy. We've got a few tricks up our sleeves. Young unafraid to play the game. You know who we are we are the wild card

One Too 05:20
One too many times, One too many times to remember you by. One to talk about, One to talk about what I never knew about. Every re-run runs, Every re-run runs a repeater by me. But I know you're the same like me, you're a rememberer, a rememberer you're One, too. You're one, too, a rememberer you're One, too. You're one, too. A believing one, A believing one's what you've always been to me. A bee-sting of love, A bee-sting of love's what you gave me, ow! In between us is, In between us isn't so far to go. But I know you're the same like me, you're a rememberer, a rememberer you're One, too. You're one, too, a rememberer you're One, too. You're one, too. But I know you're the same like me, you're a rememberer. I tried to forget the you that I know, But it's all I can remember. I tried to let it go, but you keep coming back. I tried to let it go.

To Choose 04:30
Tip-toe, which direction will I go, will I see the silver lining when I make it there? Doubtful, unsure of what I’m told, how will it all unfold, do I really care to Choose your way. New questions. Few answers to cling to. Roll with the punches, they say. Fight or flight or maybe play. Is this your best Disarray from this fleeting situation, testing my patience day to day. Life’s moving fast For the girl, should I uproot my world, when this futures unsure and this love is true? Don’t worry 'bout that. Am I a fool for uncertainty or am I wise and free? Now it’s time to Choose your way. New questions. Few answers to cling to. There's more to this than lose or win, sink or swim... it's complicated trying to find your way around. Dreamy distractions, primal decisions, it's complicated. Seasons can change so easily - Testing, testing - Endless possibilities. Don't keep second-guessing your next move. It's time to Choose your way. New questions. Few answers to cling to.

Sorry 06:16
Sorry, come back later. S'always better later. S'only bad behavior. S'alright, we'll talk later. S'already later S'already later S'already later Maybe, when we've made it... Nawmean, like we played it. Tell me, now or later, Mainly, would you trade it? S'already later S'already later S'already later (Later, later, later) Would you still be there for me, later, When I come crawlin'? I'll come crawlin' all sorry later With explanations Would you still be there When I come calling you? I'll come calling you all sorry later With expectations. Would you still be there for me later? Salty's been the weather, but don't you know I've got my own shit? Don't you know I got mine? Don't you know I've got my own shit, my own, got my own, don't know I've got mine? Sorry, lost my temper.
