Up Against And For
 
  it keeps me up late
deciding who is whose
admit or refuse, pick or choose

you can bury your lover
or shrug off petty rules
but it leaves a bruise, pick or choose

I went out in the downpour
forgot what I went out for
now I'm soaking from head to toe

if you think you can tell rain
from tears I'm amused
spare me the excuse, pick or choose

a friend considered a foe
and I try not to show
how hard it is when he makes you smile

it seems so useless now
giving up this self abuse
it's all lose-lose, pick or choose
