[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah

[Verse 1]
I felt it, the wire touched my neck and
Then someone pulled it tighter, I never saw it comin'
I started to black out and then someone said "good mornin'"
I took it as a warnin', I should've seen it comin'
So now I'll take a chance on this thing we may have started
Intentional or not, I don't think we saw it comin'
It's all addin' up to somethin' that asks for some involvement
That asks for a commitment, I think I see it comin'
If we stepped out on that limb

[Pre-Chorus]
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything gotta be so intense with me?
I'm tryna handle all this unpredictability
In all probability

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I realize that there is all this doubting
Things we're both scared about that we'll never see 'em comin'
Throw caution to the wind and we'll see which way it's blowin'
Into this fully knowin' we'll never see it comin'
'Til it's much too close to stop

[Pre-Chorus]
My heartbeat beats me senselessly
Why's everything gotta be so intense with me?
I'm tryna handle all this unpredictability
In all probability

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Oh, I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description, I never saw you comin', but we'll make it

[Chorus]
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 comin')
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 comin')
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?
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
