Count Me Twice (wersja 3)

Verse

You walk into a room full of smoke and old gold coins

Every face there's somebody who broke me at least twice.

The barkeep pours my whiskey like it's water from the well

I take it slow and steady, counting up all I can tell.

Five years of losing streaks and I still manage to win some

I fold when you walk in, smiling with that velvet skin.

Pre-Chorus

Do I count you once or twice? Is this my lucky break?

Can I roll the dice again knowing you're at stake?

Chorus

Count me twice before I take the fall

Count me twice 'cause that's how many hearts I lose all

I know it sounds crazy but I've been down so long

I need to count me twice just to stay strong.

Count me twice before I take the fall

Count me twice and maybe this is where I start to win at all

Verse

Your mother taught you how to play with a queen on your sleeve

You dealt yourself in like you owned the whole damn street.

Five of hearts, four of diamonds, you laid 'em out like they owed you

I folded slow like a man who's seen this before.

Every table I've ever sat at had one just like you

A smile that says nothing and a hand full of gold and blues.

Pre-Chorus

Do I count you once or twice? Is this my lucky break?

Can I roll the dice again knowing you're at stake?

Chorus

Count me twice before I take the fall

Count me twice 'cause that's how many hearts I lose all

I know it sounds crazy but I've been down so long

I need to count me twice just to stay strong.

Count me twice before I take the fall

Count me twice and maybe this is where I start to win at all

Bridge

Maybe love ain't poker, maybe there's no bluff to call

Maybe you're not a hand that's worth folding after all.

I'll take another round just for the pleasure of your face

Even if it means losing everything in one last place.
