Lyrics
Taking Chances
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Turn on the charm
Call to response now
Sitting on the porch
Looking for a way out
Touched on the deep
That's why I'm still here
Why do we think that we know plight?
Even I've taken my chances
Even I've taken my chances
All you remember
In the dark
On the way out
It's even enough sounds
It's the combination that takes emotions
Why don't we go now?
No need to think on our own now about it
Even I've taken my chances
Even I've taken my chances
On you
When you love all of you, they know all of you
Be alone and take, and you break for your sake
About to leave, about to leave
Even I've taken my chances
Even I've taken my chances
On you
