I'll Take My Chances Lyrics - Singles - At Long Last

I'll Take My Chances 

Let's take it back to the summer of the end of the world 

The first thoughts would be friends, east tour, and a girl 

With sleepless nights and meaningless fights about my restless legs 

Stealing tents and hopping fences, 

wasting our heads with no time to lose 

Because it's two more years until the 

best part of me is the past part of me and you 

And it's nights like tonight 

when the stars shine brighter 

and they spell your name 

I think derogatorily because I 

know it won't ever be the same Forever is a cinder block on string, 

a broken heart seems a necessity 

But I'm tired of losing sleep 

I'm still breathing, but please rest assured 

I'm left with an "x" amount of feelings 

of the nights never heard 

When I was torn between the heart 

on my sleeve, the stone cold dilemma 

that kept me neck deep 

On the long drive home when you said you were fine 

And the songs so slow, to help you think over time 

But baby we both know we'll never let this go 

Just keep your friends out of your ear 

while I keep mine out of mind 

A range of four days is a long and 

unexpected holiday, one that you shouldn't take But if the outcome feels okay, 

to turn the page, to walk away Then I'll have no choice but to keep keeping sad, s 

traight glances, when I'm out the door 

I'll take my chances 

With blank stares and sideways glances, 

to keep it up would be to take it for granted 

To be the one to try and keep us afloat, 

but the part of me that wants it picks fights 

with the part of me that won't 

So carve my name in the palm of your hand, 

squeeze your fist until you understand that we were something special, you were one of those girls, 

I was your Gosling, you were my world
