[ & With What They Knew ]

[ It Is The Roll Of The Dice ]
[ If Anyone Would Listen To Something Twice ]
[ If It Started Out As (ICE, ICE … ) ]

[ (BABY!) ]
[ Would That Be An (IF) ]
[ Or Would That Be A (MAYBE?) ]

[ Either Way, The Song Will Last Past My Ring Finger ]
[ & Even Though You Are Not A Singer ]
[ The Background Tune Will Linger ]

[ Way Back In The Recess Of Their Minds ]

[ Some Things In Life Can Be Extremely Hard ]
[ It All Depends On Who’s Carrying That Specific Card ]

[ On That Particular Day ]
[ Then You Have To Find That One Way ]

[ To Survive ]
[ To Stay Alive ]

[ What If You Had To Go Throughout Life With Diminishing
Sight? ]
[ Would You Lay Down & Wait For Death? ]
[ Or Stand Up, Face The Wind & Fight? ]

[ As They Say (LIVE TODAY AS IF YOU WERE GOING TO
BE GONE TOMORROW) ]
[ No One Ever Said That Time Is Something You Can Borrow ]

[ When You Borrow Something, The Rule Is You Have To
Give It Back ]
[ How Does One Do That ]
[ When It’s Time That You Originally Lacked ]

[ So How Can You Pay Back Something That You Don’t
Have Extra Of? ]
[ Unless You Are Talking About Affection & Love ]

[ Love Can Grow & Grow & Grow Some More ]
[ If You Play Your Cards Right ]
[ Love Can Fill The Room, From The Ceiling To The
Floor ]
[ But When Day Turns Into Night ]
[ Some Negative People Keep Score ]
[ When They Want To Fight ]
[ While Standing On The Other Side Of The Door ]

[ That Is A Good Place ]
[ For Them To Stand ]
[ So You Won’t To See The Face ]
[ Of The One Making Demands ]

[ You May Ask (KEEP SCORE OF WHAT?) ]
[ They Keep Score Of How Your Hair May Look ]
[ Or How Those Jeans Fit On Your Butt ]

[ Those Are The One’s That Always Cause The Strife ]
[ You Never Need Those Kinds Of People In Your Life ]

[ A Good Use Of A Verb ]
[ Is When You Tell Them That They Have Been Kicked
To The Curbed
