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 gotta 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've got,
So I'll 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 gotta 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've got,
So I'll 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! No chance!
'Cause you're the best I've got!
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
(Oh, 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
(Oh, 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
