Lyrics
Looking back on the memory of
Reflecting on a past memory
the dance we shared 'before the stars alone
Recalling a shared dance in a romantic setting under the stars
For a moment all the world was right
Feeling that everything was perfect for a brief moment
How could I have known
Expressing unawareness of an impending goodbye
that you'd ever say goodbye
Realizing the unexpected pain of saying farewell
And now I'm glad I didn't know
Grateful for not knowing the future and its challenges
The way it all would end
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life's twists
The way it all would go
Accepting the uncertainty of life's course
Our lives are better left to chance
Believing that leaving things to chance improves life
I could have missed the pain
Contemplating the avoidance of pain if unaware
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Understanding that avoiding pain means missing valuable experiences
Holding you I held everything
Feeling complete and fulfilled while holding a loved one
For a moment wasn't I a king
Experiencing a moment of regal happiness
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Reflecting on the potential downfall of that happiness
Hey who's to say
Considering the uncertainty and risk of life's choices
you know I might have chanced it all
Acknowledging the possibility of taking risks for love
And now I'm glad I didn't know
Expressing gratitude for not knowing what the future holds
The way it all would end
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life's twists (repeated)
The way it all would go
Accepting the uncertainty of life's course (repeated)
Our lives are better left to chance
Believing that leaving things to chance improves life (repeated)
I could have missed the pain
Contemplating the avoidance of pain if unaware (repeated)
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Understanding that avoiding pain means missing valuable experiences (repeated)
Yes my life is better left to chance
Affirming that life is better with its unpredictable elements
I could have missed the pain
Acknowledging that embracing chance avoids certain pains
but I'd of had to miss the dance
Realizing that even though pain is avoided, the dance (experience of life) would be missed
