Almost Even

If I could take half the fire from my lips
Put it in your heart, and rub it on the tip of your tongue
We'd be almost even
If I could rev you up and leave you in neutral
Feeling out the gears and never locking fully in Drive
We'd be almost even
Hey, we'd be…
Almost even
If you could swim halfway I would throw you a short line
Almost even
Well, I'm not the cruel kind
But baby I'd make an exception this time
If I could pick you up when you're shiny and new
Show you off, pack you up, and shelve you with my other old toys
We'd be almost even
Hey, we'd be…
Almost even
If I could push you off a cliff and say "I'll catch you the next time"
Almost even
Well, I'm not the cruel kind
But baby I'd make an exception this time
Aii, Aii, Aii, Aii
Almost even
If you could swim halfway I'd throw you a short line
Almost even
Well, I'm not the cruel kind
But baby I'd make an exception, I'm…
Almost even
If I could push you off a cliff and say "I'd catch you if I had the time"
Almost even
Well, I'm not the cruel kind
But baby I'd make an exception
I'm not the cruel kind
But baby I'd make an exception
I'm not the cruel kind
But baby I'd make an exception this time
Aii, Aii, Aii, Aii
