Lyrics

I know my friend likes cornflower blue
So whenever I see her I wear this dress
But when I see her brother he likes me much taller
So I always carry my heels unless
There's a drink in his hand on a Tuesday as planned
And I have to change more than my shoes

In every circumstance there's the off chance
I'm gonna lose no matter what I choose to wear

I know my friend likes biking the paths through the city
So I learn to ride along
And when I see her daughter with princesses on her
I know to get ready to sing the song
Even though I'm afraid who I am is betrayed
When I stray very far from the blues

In every circumstance there's the off chance
I'm gonna lose no matter what I choose to sing

You don't know walk-in closets until you've seen mine
A gallery of all the skins I've worn
Choices made and times I've stayed too long in some
You don't know walk-in closets until you've seen mine
A gallery of all the skins I've worn
Choices made and times I've stayed too long in some
That's why they're worn

I know the girl you met at the bar
Is someone you think you know better now
But when I see you coming I'm already changing
My hair and my clothes and my shoes and my smile
Nobody knows how I look with no clothes
Cuz I've never been naked before
And all of my mirrors and all I appear as
Are facets of hope that I'm yours

In every circumstance there's the off chance
I'm gonna lose no matter what I choose
In every circumstance there's the off chance
I'm gonna lose no matter what I choose to say
No matter what I choose to play
No matter how long I choose to stay
In every circumstance there's the off chance
I'm gonna lose no matter what I choose today
