I'll Take My Chances

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
