Fighting Chance

You go to sit down at this table Yeah, and where everything looks fine 'Til you go to put your arms down and realize That one of them is just a little too shy So you're bending over now with your folded up matchbook Gonna try to steady yourself Waitress comes and puts your coffee down You just spill it all over yourself If this is as hard as it gets You've got a fighting chance So you think to yourself if I start my day over Yeah, starting right now Then you grab your to-go cup you got for free You feel a familiar hand on your shoulder Turn around, it's your ex Smiling like she never left you For your best friend three years before You think, "what now?" All of your weight on the door If this is as hard as it gets You've got a fighting chance So you push off, yeah, towards your apartment On the corner above that liquor store 28 days away from the drink Life is testing you more than you've been tested before You are the bravest, newest person I've met All of the answers are in you Even if you haven't had the questions yet You are the bravest, newest person I've met And if this is as hard as it gets today Yeah, you've got a fighting chance 'Cause I know it's hard Your skin against this city With all of your old friends at the bar So if it's any consolation to you I think fragile suits you
