The Fool might be my middle name
[Pattern 2]
But I'd be foolish not to say

I'm going to make whatever it takes, ring you up, call you down, sign your

[Pattern 2]
make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine.

You know with love comes strange currencies,
[Pattern 2]
And here is my appeal:
[Pattern 1]
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
[Pattern 2]
just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real
