yearlongday

one in a million, a million to one;

when it comes down to numbers, it isn’t much fun.

i’ve kept the statistics, and followed the trends;

as soon as it happens to me, my strategy ends,

i know mathematics, but it’s not math i need.

forget the statistics, ignore probability.

the odds are against me, but odds don’t make destiny.

there isn’t a system. it doesn’t make sense.

i can’t explain it to you without evidence.

it’s not in the numbers. it shouldn’t occur,

but there is no logic to love… haven’t you heard?

i am unlucky, but it’s not luck i need.

dismiss the predictions, and skip the astrology.

the odds are against me, but odds don’t make destiny…

… destiny, destiny, destiny.

i can’t hide forever. why should i try?

the minute i let my guard down, we meet eye to eye.

some say it’s better to love and have lost.

i’ve got my own hypothesis: love is chaos.

dismiss the predictions, and skip the astrology.

forget the statistics, ignore probability.

the odds are against me, but odds don’t make destiny…

… destiny, destiny, destiny.
