I want to break even

I put your heart to my lips
With a jar out for tips
The change I believe in
Comes to 3.50 even

Almost as much as the beer
That dragged me down here
My voice is ragged and raw
But I'll do one more song

I want to break even
Won't you help me break even
I'll make you feel feelings
I'll bedevil your demons

I want to break even
As long as I'm breathing
Fill my lungs, hold it in
Feel it come out again

I put your heart to my ear
To make sure you're still here
The change I believe in
Is both of them beating

I want a couple of babies
More than that would be crazy
One for you, one for me
A tall and thin family tree

I want to break even
Won't you help me break even
I'll make you feel feelings
I'll bedevil your demons

I want to break even
As long as I'm breathing
Fill my lungs, hold it in
Feel it come out again

I keep your heart in my mind
Every time that you're kind
The change I believe in
Is you making me decent

Before that I leave
All I hope to achieve
Is to make you as happy
As you've always made me

I want to break even
Won't you help me break even
I'll make you feel feelings
I'll bedevil your demons

I want to break even
As long as I'm breathing
Fill my lungs, hold it in
Feel it come out again
