Taking Chances
Embrace the Unknown: Taking Chances in Love
Lyrics
Don't know much about your life
Expressing a lack of knowledge about the person's life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Acknowledging limited understanding of the person's world.
Don't want to be alone tonight
Conveying a desire not to be alone on the current night.
On this planet they call earth
Referencing the planet Earth as the shared space.
You don't know about my past and
Highlighting a lack of knowledge about the speaker's past.
I don't have a future figured out
Indicating uncertainty about the future.
And maybe this is going too fast
Suggesting that the relationship may be progressing quickly.
And maybe it's not meant to last
Expressing doubt about the relationship's longevity.
But, what do you say to taking chances?
Proposing the idea of taking chances in the relationship.
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Asking for a commitment to take risks together.
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Reflecting on the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
Pondering the absence of support or consequences.
What do you say?
Repeating the question about taking chances.
What do you say?
Reiterating the question for emphasis.
I just want to start again
Expressing a desire for a fresh start in life.
And maybe you could show me how to try
Suggesting a willingness to learn and try again.
And maybe you could take me in
Expressing a desire to be accepted into the person's inner self.
Somewhere underneath your skin?
Metaphorically referring to being beneath the person's surface.
What do you say to taking chances?
Repeating the question about taking chances.
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Reiterating the call for joint risk-taking.
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Re-emphasizing the uncertainty of what lies below.
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
Repeating the consideration of lacking support or facing consequences.
What do you say?
Repeating the question about taking chances.
What do you say?
Reiterating the question for emphasis.
And I had my heart beaten down
Reflecting on past emotional hardships.
But I always come back for more, yeah
Expressing resilience despite facing challenges.
There's nothing like love to pull you up
Highlighting the uplifting power of love.
When you're laying down on the floor there
Describing a situation of emotional low points.
So talk to me, talk to me
Inviting open communication in the relationship.
Like lovers do
Encouraging verbal intimacy similar to lovers.
Yeah, walk with me, walk with me
Inviting physical closeness in the relationship.
Like lovers do
Repeating the call for physical closeness.
Like lovers do
Reiterating the desire for physical intimacy.
What do you say to taking chances?
Repeating the question about taking chances.
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Reiterating the call for joint risk-taking.
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Re-emphasizing the uncertainty of what lies below.
Or a hand to hold, or hell to pay
Repeating the consideration of lacking support or facing consequences.
What do you say?
Repeating the question about taking chances.
What do you say?
Reiterating the question for emphasis.
Don't know much about your life
Reiterating a lack of knowledge about the person's life.
And I don't know much about your world
Reiterating limited understanding of the person's world.
