Acoustic #3 by The Goo Goo Dolls

born

i play hearts (three of them,
face down

on

the table, holding on, hands full).
numbers   count

and

rocket toward the sky
as

i leap
over billboards and billiards.
i

find the hand i hold
to

be too much   for you,
and

i win, gradually,
taking time

to  take it down

and
make my millions.
i keep trying,

after all the cards have been taken.
i

place all my bets on  you...
