2 Cents - Braden Bales

(Verse) He's like a whip that doesn't crack You'll take a sip and you're on your back Those big blue eyes are hard to reach So impossible, it makes you me Like a guitar that cries for days Seduces you in a thousand ways You feel his dreams, now you're uptight It makes any girl we can out of sight (Chorus) 'Cause he's not undercover, he walks past his lovers And the others know there's no defense There is no evidence He creates an illusion that leads to confusion And you give up your common sense Well that's my two cents (Verse) He's like a wall that's made of steel Too cold to touch but not much to feel His silent smile he shares with you The tricks of the trade, he's glad to lose Into thin air he disappears Gives one last look and frozen leaf Your heart for sure is good as gone Love's a TV set that says it's nothing on (Chorus) 'Cause he's not undercover, he walks past his lovers And the others know there's no defense There is no evidence He creates an illusion that leads to confusion And you give up your common sense Well that's my two cents (Bridge) There's no behind with the problems of a glint All the coins dissipate when there are no fingerprints Don't retrace your steps 'Cause his story's letting you A one man casino If you spin the wheel you lose (Chorus) 'Cause he's not undercover, he walks past his lovers And the others know there's no defense There is no evidence He creates an illusion that leads to confusion And you give up your common sense Well that's my two cents

You were the rain in my longest drought How come heaven had to match us now? So far from safe and sound Yeah, I can entertain But change is my constant, you chase what I'm not I'm changing so often How in the hell could this work out? I'm down to find out So, baby, what's the ROI? 'Cause I'm spending all of my capital on borrowed time We're sailing a sinking asset into higher tides And searching for clearer waters under darker skies, what a life I'm so full of IOUs And promises of a hundred things that I would do When all you wanted from me is spending time with you Do you think that we're worth the life I'll put you through? What to do? Oh If I'm out on the road and you're staying in place How can I tell if this is something to save? And while you're drawing your Lines in the sand, kicking dust in my face Who is to blame and whose side do we take? When change is my constant, you chase what I'm not We're changing so often How in the hell could this work out? I wanna find out So, baby, what's the ROI? 'Cause I'm spending all of my capital on borrowed time We're sailing a sinking asset into higher tides And searching for clearer waters under darker skies, what a life I'm so full of IOUs And promises of a hundred things that I would do When all you wanted from me is spending time with you Do you think that we're worth the life I'll put you through? What to do? Oh
