Long Shot

I felt it

The wire touched my neck

And then someone pulled it tighter

I never saw it coming

I started to black out and

Then someone said good morning

I took it as a warning

I should have seen it coming

So now I'll take a chance on

This thing we may have started

Intentional or not I

Don't think we saw it coming

It's all adding up to something

That asks for some involvement

That asks for a commitment

I think I see it coming

If we step out on that limb



My heartbeat beats me senselessly

Why's everything got to be so intense with me

I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability

In all probability



It's a long shot but I say why not

If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it

It's a long shot just to beat these odds

The chance is we won't make it

But I know if I don't take it there's no chance

'Cause you're the best I got

So take a long shot



I realize that there is all this doubting

Things we're both scared about that

We'll never see them coming

Throw caution to the wind and

We'll see which way it's blowing

Into this fully knowing

We'll never see it coming

Til it's much too close to stop



My heartbeat beats me senselessly

Why's everything got to be so intense with me

I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability

In all probability



It's a long shot and I say why not

If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it

It's a long shot just to beat these odds

The chance is we won't make it

But I know if I don't take it there's no chance

'Cause you're the best I got

So take a long shot



Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction

And you fit my description

I never saw you coming

But we'll make it



It's a long shot but I say why not

If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it

It's a long shot just to beat these odds

The chance is we won't make it

But I know if I don't take it there's no chance

'Cause you're the best I got



It's a long shot but I say why not

If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it (so take a long shot)

It's a long shot just to beat these odds

The chance is we won't make it

But I know if I don't take it (you didn't expect this)



It's a long shot but I say why not (oh you never saw me coming)

If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it (you didn't expect this)

It's a long shot just to beat these odds (oh you never saw me coming)

The chance is we won't make it

But I know if I don't take it
