lyrics

This year’s been tough, it’s good to see your face again
the water’s been rough and blackened by Leviathan
if you remember, you know you did the best you could
it’s not too late to fix the things that you still should

and if you need reminding who you are
I’ve got your coat, it’s right here in my car
dumb to keep, I know
but I couldn’t let you go
I never stopped wanting to fix it, now you know

‘cause I’d rather have you, by my side
I’d rather have you along for the ride
‘cause we’re almost out of outs now,
and you are all we’ve got
so I’d rather have you, cursed or not

it’s time to end this war, send the monsters back to bed
I need a fighter, but got a lover here instead
life ain’t a game, you can’t just play you’re sorry
you don’t have to fight, but will you please just stand by me

doesn’t matter what you lost, what you still lack
part of me always believed that you’d come back
if you’re cursed, well I am too,
it doesn’t matter if it’s true
I mean, come on, do I look like good luck to you?

and I’d rather have you, by my side
I’d rather have you along for the ride
‘cause it’s the bottom of the ninth now,
and you are all I’ve got
so I’d rather have you, cursed or not

you may be lost inside your mind
and I can’t leave the past behind
but that don’t mean I can’t forgive
‘cause you are still my best friend
we’ll fix the cracks that we can mend
and give us all a chance to live

‘cause I’d rather have you, by my side
I’d rather have you along for the ride
‘cause the game is almost over
and you’re the only chance we’ve got
so I’d rather have you, cursed or not
