Chances (2021 Remaster)

At first it was clear, it was easy to see
Till you cursed and reversed 
And you turned it on me
Like a book, like a cover you were easy to read
Like a clock, like a mother you were curiously free
Starring in a movie that was all about me 
You’re the twist in the ending of the faraway dream
Everybody’s in the castle fast asleep
Wake up stupid beauty no time to be weak

You take chances with me
You take chances with me
You take chances with me
Take your last liberty

Underneath the covers that you wear on your sleeve
Is a time and place everything that you leave
Trying to be clever isn’t pretty for me
Suffocating love, give me room to breathe
Stuck in a movie that is all about me
Living in fiction and skipping a dream
I thought you’d said you never had the measure of me
Get up it’s time to leave

You take chances with me
You take chances with me
You take chances with me
Take your last liberty

Who’s not winning now?

You take chances with me
You take chances with me
At first it was clear, it was easy to see
Till you cursed and reversed 
And you turned it on me
Like a book, like a cover you were easy to read
Like a clock, like a mother you were curiously free
Starring in a movie that was all about me 
You’re the twist in the ending of the faraway dream
Everybody’s in the castle fast asleep
Wake up stupid beauty no time to be weak

You take chances with me
You take chances with me
You take chances with me
Take your last liberty

Underneath the covers that you wear on your sleeve
Is a time and place everything that you leave
Trying to be clever isn’t pretty for me
Suffocating love, give me room to breathe
Stuck in a movie that is all about me
Living in fiction and skipping a dream
I thought you’d said you never had the measure of me
Get up it’s time to leave

You take chances with me
You take chances with me
You take chances with me
Take your last liberty

Who’s not winning now?

You take chances with me
You take chances with me
