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 ask for our commitment I think I see it coming If we step out of that limb My heart beat 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 starting 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 And to this pulling on We'll never see it coming Until it's much to close to stop My heart beat 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 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 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 It's a long shot but I say why not Oh you never saw me coming
