[Intro] [Verse 1] Somebody crossed an ocean In a boat that should have sunk Somebody missed a battle 'Cause the sergeant got drunk Somebody said yes at a dance To a boy she didn't like Somebody made it through a winter On a single loaf of rye [Chorus] And it all comes down to me In a kitchen, half awake Every link of it had to hold Not a single one could break Ten thousand yeses in a row Every coin flip landing right And the whole impossible story Ends in me on a Wednesday night [Verse 2] Somebody caught a fever And the fever let them go Somebody took the early train In a city full of snow Somebody's mother kept a letter That she meant to throw away And somebody read it twice And decided they would stay [Chorus] And it all comes down to me In a kitchen, half awake Every link of it had to hold Not a single one could break Ten thousand yeses in a row Every coin flip landing right And the whole impossible story Ends in me on a Wednesday night [Bridge] Run it back a million times And I'm not in any one Not a chance, not a whisper Not a trace of anyone And I'm standing at the counter While the coffee's getting cold The unlikeliest thing that ever happened Waiting on the toast [Instrumental Solo] [Final Chorus] And it all comes down to me In a kitchen, half awake Every link of it had to hold Not a single one could break Ten thousand yeses in a row Every coin flip landing right And I'm lucky to be here Doing nothing, Wednesday night [Outro]
