lyrics
Ghost Of A Chance
My resolve has softened like butter,
You keep pushing my window wider.
Maybe this is you kissing me better,
Maybe you’ll be my lucky outsider.
I’m a greedy child, high on your sugar.
A storm chaser, braced for the thunder.
But if you shake me out of my fever,
You might keep me from breaking asunder.
If there’s a ghost of a chance,
If I pin all my hopes on you,
If I get a taste for romance,
Could you take a ghost of a chance on me too?
With my hand in yours, I am stronger.
When you look in my eyes, I remember,
I’m a queen these days, not a beggar!
I’m a fire these days, not an ember!
If there’s a ghost of a chance,
If I pin all my hopes on you,
If I get a taste for romance,
Could you take a ghost of a chance on me too?
We could rein in the sun,
Bake the day ‘til it’s done,
Juice the hours like a lime,
Drink their imperfect time.
And through my hollow night, would you hold me tight?
And could you stand to be loved by me?
If there’s a ghost of a chance,
If I pin all my hopes on you,
If I get a taste for romance,
Could you take a chance, take a chance, take a chance...
Oh, if there’s a ghost of a chance,
If I pin all my hopes on you,
If I get a taste for romance,
Could you take a ghost of a chance on me too...?
