Take the Chance Lyrics

In the corner booth where the light is low

Coffee's cold, but neither of us cares

You stir your cup, I glance outside

Like we're both avoiding the weight that's in the air

Your hand hovers just above the table

Like you're thinking of reaching mine

But the words don't come, we're stuck in silence

Caught between what we want and leaving it behind

And there's a fire beneath the surface

I feel it burning through your stare

We're sitting here, but the world's in motion

Do we dare?

Yeah, do we dare?

The waitress checks, but we both just nod

Still pretending that there's time to choose

But every second's closing in

On this game where we've got nothing to lose

What if we just walked out that door?

Left this place like we don't belong

Would we find the answer in the wind?

Or are we scared of being wrong?

And there's a fire beneath the surface

It's growing louder with every glance

We're dancing round what we can't admit

Do we take the chance?

Yeah, take the chance?

Your eyes lock mine, the silence breaks

But we're still waiting for a sign

One move could change the story now

But is the ending one we want to find?

And there's a fire beneath the surface

It's calling out in every breath

We're standing at the edge of something

Do we take the step?

Yeah, take the step

Then you smile, like it's already done

And in that moment, the world comes undone
