Dodged a Bullet

Beth Keeping, Bryony Rickard


Fireworks turned out to be gunshots
Shooting stars ended in battle scars
You drew me in with absinthe and adrenaline 
Took your aim as I looked the other way

And then I dodged a bullet
I dodged a bullet
Smoke from your gun now I see through it
Finger on the trigger
Didn’t think you’d do it
Turns out that I'm quicker faster than a bullet
I dodged a bullet
I dodged a bullet
Smoke from your gun now I see through it
Finger on the trigger
Go ahead and pull it
Cause I’m so much better now I’ve dodged a bullet

City nights, splashing cash, flashing lights
You won me with your champagne and chivalry
Recycled lines, the same ones you’ve used a hundred times
But I know you now, you’ve got a different one in every town

And then I dodged a bullet
I dodged a bullet
Smoke from your gun now I see through it
Finger on the trigger
Didn’t think you’d do it
Turns out that I'm quicker faster than a bullet
I dodged a bullet
I dodged a bullet
Smoke from your gun now I see through it
Finger on the trigger
Go ahead and pull it
Cause I’m so much better now I’ve dodged a bullet
