Against the Odds

I'm gonna preach
Cause often I don't
March is here and we're still young

I'm not gonna bind
Your little mistakes
But you should know that I do care

Against the odds of our peers

So lead us astray
Or have it all
Whichever you'd like, whichever you choose

Give me a dream
Remember it when you wake
I dream a hundred dreams
I threw 'em all away

Against the odds of our peers
Against the odds

Buy Yourself A Rose

We laugh about the past
And listen to the rain hit
The clothes against our skin

You know we're gonna be drunk
Stumblin' through the fields with
A bouquet in our hands

Oh

We save all of our wishes
And hang 'em out to dry while
The horse goes on for miles

When you find the time
I bet you'll change yer name to
Mrs. Rosemary

Buy yourself a rose
Put away the past
Buy yourself a rose
