 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 morning
 I took it as a warning
 I should have 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 adding  up to something
 That asks of some involvement
 That asks for a commitment
 I think I see it coming
 If we step  out of that limb
 My heart beat beats
 me senselessly
 Why’s everything gotta
be  so intense with me
 I’m trying to 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 them 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
 (Repeat Refrain)
 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
 there's no  chance
 coz 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
 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’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’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
