Ah-ah-ah

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 mornin'

I took it as a warning, I should've 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 addin' up to something

That asks for some involvement, that asks for a commitment

I think I see it comin' if we stepped out on that limb

My heartbeat beats me senselessly

Why's everything gotta be so intense with me?

I'm tryna 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 'em 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 tryna 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 (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

It's a long shot, but I say why not
