AT LONG LAST - I'll Take My Chances lyrics

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 a**ured 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
