Static Luck

I'm growing tired of squaring off against the odds
It seems to me that I can't see
The target I've got nailed into my back
It's easy to agree

I've been there way too many times before
Walking backwards and I'm on my own
I take too long or can't make up my mind
Too many chances blown

If I fail again, could I still carry on?
If I love one day, will neither of us run?
Wasting my time has only led to getting stuck
Open your eyes, do you believe in static luck?

I'm growing, conscious of my faulty rationale
Is it just me cause I can't tell
The way she looked at me the night before
Said she was doing well

So I took her to the rocks down by the sea
Felt the tension building up within
As I lost my step and dragged her down with me
We both went for a swim

If I fail again, could I still carry on?
If I love one day, will neither of us run?
Wasting my time has only led to getting stuck
Open your eyes, do you believe in static luck?

I lose track of time
I can't keep what's mine

If I fail again, could I still carry on?
If I love one day, will neither of us run?
Can't take a chance when all I fear is getting stuck
Just take my hand, help me erase this static luck
