Take Chances

Verse 1

I’ve been driving down the same old road,

Clean lines, nowhere to go.

Playing safe like it’s a rule I chose,

But it don’t feel like home.

Got a little wild in my bloodstream,

Knocking like an old back door,

Every “what if” keeps calling me

For something a little more.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I’ve been keeping my hands clean,

But my soul’s getting restless now…

Chorus

So I’m gonna take chances,

Run where the map don’t go.

Get a little lost in the moment,

Let the unknown take control.

Yeah, I might get reckless,

Yeah, I might get it wrong,

But I’d rather live in the chaos

Than wonder my whole life long.

Let the dust fly, let it all get real—

Yeah, I’m done standing still.

I’m gonna take chances.

⸻

Verse 2

Mama said “keep your shoes clean, boy,”

Don’t you wander too far.

But the dirt feels like freedom now,

Underneath these scars.

I’ve been chasing something honest,

Not polished, not picture-perfect,

If it breaks me, at least I’ll know

That it was all worth it.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I’ve been walking that straight line,

But I’m ready to cross it now…

Chorus

So I’m gonna take chances,

Run where the map don’t go.

Get a little lost in the moment,

Let the unknown take control.

Yeah, I might get reckless,

Yeah, I might get it wrong,

But I’d rather live in the chaos

Than wonder my whole life long.

Let the dust fly, let it all get real—

Yeah, I’m done standing still.

I’m gonna take chances.

⸻

Bridge

Maybe I’ll fall flat on my face,

Maybe I’ll find my place,

Maybe the road gets rough and wild—

But at least I’ll say I tried.

Yeah, at least I’ll say I lived…

⸻

Final Chorus (Lift)

I’m gonna take chances,

Even if it shakes me loose.

Trade a little comfort

For something I can’t refuse.

Yeah, I might get reckless,

Yeah, I might lose control,

But I’d rather feel every heartbeat

Than never feel it at all.

Let the dust fly, let it all get real—

Yeah, I’m done standing still.

I’m gonna take chances
