Song Lyrics

"Sevens"

by 77's
Album: Late

Did you know my eyes were blue'
The day we met my heart was too,
Now you say the colour's changed,
You're staring down a darker shade of the man you knew.

He painted on your shoulder blade; a love declared, a cheap display,
Scarred for life, your choice is always made,
A paradise is what you throw away,
Throw away.

Seven come eleven, roll me, baby,
Blind faith in the call you'll make,
If I play poker-face and walk away, you'll throw sevens.

Underneath the sea of love, we always set our sails above,
You knew not to push until I shoved hard enough to feel the tidal wave,
I was there to see that you were safe from every little storm that ever raged,
Now we're drowning, and there's nothing left to save,
Can you see me'
Tossing my love overboard, and I'm blown away.

Seven come eleven, roll me, baby,
Blind faith in the call you'll make,
If I play poker-face and walk away...

Here's your lucky day; you got all you wanted from me,
Roll another bone for your history.

You don't know what you're doing,
You don't know at all,
Burning down your love like a cigarette,
You burn it down 'til there's nothing left,
You don't know what you'll ruin, yeah,
You don't know at all,
You can't bet on your love like a winning hand,
Suck it up 'til the money's all gone,
You don't know what your running,
Your game is gonna fall,
Throwing down your love 'til there's nothing left,
There's nothing left.
