lottery

i was 19 and you were 23 and

we stayed in number 4 ferdinand street

we spent five talking about our lives

but we'd talked like that about a thousand times

and i'm bored of all that

you used to tell me that

love is a lottery

and you got your numbers

and you're betting on me

you used to say that

love is a game

but you got your numbers

and you're betting on me

i'll tell you about a guy

that i've been with

you ask how old is he?"
