My Chances

(álbum: Happiness And All The Other Things - 2009)

Not so long ago, I thought I knew it all
I had the world by the hand
Every day is so off color now
I don't know where to stand

[Chorus:]
I'm looking for the answer
Sitting right in front of me
Am I not ready to take my chances?
Or have my chances overtaken me?

I wish the fog would burn up in the sun
And let the light show me the way
Flip a quarter, watch it hit the ground
And leave it all up to fate

[Repeat Chorus]

That's the question that's been scratching
Like a cat at my door
Pretty soon it's gonna get tired of asking
And it won't haunt me no more

I'm looking for the answer
It's sitting right in front of me
Am I not willing to take my chances?
Well, my chances have overtaken me

And not so long ago, I thought I knew it all
It's coming back to me
