Chances

There’s a waning moon tonight
You can see it through the live oak trees
I think maybe on a whole I’d like to get out and see

These walls are caving in
All the cupboards are empty
I take heart in what lies ahead
For you and me
Cause that’s all I can do

I’ll take my chances with you
Even if the odds are one in two
I want more than passing phases
And worn out gazes, too

There are shadows on the road ahead
Every timid step I take is risky
I’m a tiger on a tightrope walking
Through the streets

Now comes the hardest part
All these witches and wolves surround me
You’re the hunter who’s found his mark
In the wilds of my heart
Now there’s a clear path ahead
