against all odds

I felt it
The wire touch 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 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
And our 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 take a long shot

I realize that there is all this doubting
And we're both scared about that
We'll never see em coming
Throw caution to the wind and
We'll see which way it's blowing
And to 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
And our 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 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

So take a long shot

You didn't expect this
Oh you never saw me coming
