50/50 Lyrics by John Craigie

Mermaid Salt

2022

[Verse 1]
I get lost in the middle
It always happens so fast
But you know we write our best songs
After the first date and the last
[Chorus]
Oh, even the perfect wave
Oh, ends with you falling off the board
Oh, I suppose I am perfecting my fall
[Verse 2]
We could only be lovers
We could never be friends
Friends don't tear each other's clothes off
Friends don't cry when it ends
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't care if we burn up
Oh, I know the fire will be great
Oh, and when Mardi Gras is over, we'll spread the ashes on our face
[Bridge]
I tried to give you up
But I gave up every time
Man when you're in love, everything's a goddamn sign
[Verse 3]
The odds are always 50/50
It either happens or it don't
I got my thumb under the coin
Praying that it won't
