“Odds Are Against Us” is probably about a gay relationship Bill had in the past. The lyrics are full of hidden hints about having to hide this love because our society isn’t ready to understand the love between two guys. In an interview with Jojo Wrights, Jojo asked Bill if the person this songs are...
(Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't we know?
Oh, oh, oh yeah, oh
Oh, oh, oh yeah, yeah)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't we know?
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 1]
I've been drunk all night
You keep calling
Are they happy now?
Watchin' us falling
Secret we should hide
Don't know if I can
This is who we are
This is who I am
Oh, tonight they're up for love
But, our world isn't ready
To understand us
[Chorus]
Remember I will be with you
Even though we're letting go
Guess I need to find someone like you
If this is what I have to do
Cause the odds are against us
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The odds are against us
Cause the odds are against us
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The odds are against us
[Verse 2]
Driving through the hills
Chasing the sun
We are just two boys
Don't know why we run
If we end it now
Heavens got no tears
We could fly so high
Far away from here
Find some light
They are up for love
But, our world isn't ready
If there's open scars, scars
[Chorus]
Remember I will be with you
Even though we're letting go
Guess I need to find someone like you
If this is what I have to do
Cause the odds are against us
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The odds are against us
Cause the odds are against us
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The odds are against us
[Bridge]
Letting go, and...
You know we should try
Oh, you know we should try
If this what we want
You know in our lives
It happens just one time
There is only, only one chance
(Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't we know?
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Remember I will be with you
Even though we're letting go
Guess I need to find someone like you
If this is what I have to do
Cause the odds are against us
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The odds are against us
Cause the odds are against us
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
The odds are against us
