Title: Seven Down to Five Verse 1 Busted a mirror in the hallway Swept it up and let it lie Heard it’s seven years bad luck Said “well, that sounds about right” I been walkin’ with that feelin’ Long before it hit the floor Ain’t the kind of thing you fix Just somethin’ you ignore Verse 2 Talked to a card reader downtown Neon blinkin’ in the glass She said “I can’t take it off you But I can make it pass” I said I ain’t chasin’ better Just somethin’ I can ride She said “best I can do for you Is maybe seven down to five” Chorus Seven down to five That’s a deal I’ll take Ain’t about gettin’ clean Just a lighter weight You keep it movin’ You don’t ask why Seven down to five And you get by Verse 3 Band was playin’ somethin’ easy Didn’t have to think too much Funny how a little rhythm Takes the edge off just enough I ain’t countin’ down the days Ain’t keepin’ score no more Just lettin’ it roll through me Like it always did before Chorus Seven down to five That’s a deal I’ll take Ain’t about gettin’ clean Just a lighter weight You keep it movin’ You don’t ask why Seven down to five And you get by Bridge Maybe it’s just numbers Maybe it’s just time Either way it don’t feel Like it was ever mine Final Chorus Seven down to five Still hangin’ around But it don’t hit as hard When the music’s loud You don’t beat the thing You just let it slide Seven down to five And you get by
