Half a Chance
Embracing Storms: Carly Simon's Call for Resilience in 'Half a Chance'
Lyrics
You said we'd light the firmament
You promised we would bring brightness to the sky or achieve great success together.
You said our love was permanent
You assured that our love was enduring and lasting.
You said we'd stick through thick and thin
You said we'd support each other during difficult times.
Through up and down, through lose and win
No matter the challenges (ups and downs, winning and losing), we'd stay together.
But comes the first sign of stormy weather
However, at the first hint of trouble,
You're packin' your bags in the trance
You're quickly preparing to leave without much thought or awareness.
But you gotta give
But you need to put in effort
Half a chance
To give at least some opportunity or effort
Half a chance
-Half a chance
-To our romance
To our relationship or love story
you can't pretend it's Camelot
You cannot act as if everything is perfect like in Camelot (utopia) and then flee when faced with difficulties.
Then start to run when things get hot
You can't stay committed only when things are easy and comfortable.
When love explodes there's always heat
When love intensifies, there are conflicts or challenges.
There's always bitter with the sweet
There's always a mix of hardships and joys in love.
There's always times when your legs feel broken
There are moments when you feel emotionally or physically drained, but you mustn't give up.
But you still don't drop out of the dance
Even in tough times, you should keep going.
You gotta give
You need to exert effort
Half a chance
To give at least some opportunity or effort
Half a chance
-Half a chance
-To our romance
To our relationship or love story
