There's so much I've never told you
That I wish I could just say
Like a fear that holds on to you
Some words won't see the light of day
I can see something in your eyes
That looks a lot like what's in mine
When am I going to realize
You only get once chance at life
 
          And
          Chances are I'm not alone
          Chances are you share this ache
          Chances are you've always known
          Chances are its no mistake
          But when push comes to shove
          Chances are something I don't take
 
I hate having to be apart
Reality can be hard to take
Absence doesn't help the heart
When its already starting to break
When you look me in the eyes
Your soul gets tangled up with mine
When am I going to realize
You only get once chance at life
 
          And
          Chances are I'm not alone
          Chances are you share this ache
          Chances are you've always known
          Chances are its no mistake
          But when push comes to shove
          Chances are something I don't take
 
If we ever see eye to eye
And can say what's on our minds
Will we finally realize
You only get once chance at life
 
          And
          Chances are we're not alone
          Chances are we share this ache
          Chances are we've always known
          Chances are its no mistake
          But when push comes to shove
          Chances are something we don't take
          Chances are something we won't take
