Chance

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't know how much I'd come to love you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Of the greatest gift I almost faded away
I had no idea how much I'd come to need you
I had no idea how much I'd burn when I can't see you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
But you pierced my heart in June
Turned and hung the moon
In a while, child
I was wrapped around your finger
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
I can't believe I called it love before you
I think I even thought I could ignore you
I had no idea if I'd disappear from fear
Those days were cold
And I almost faded away
But you changed the way I breathe
And rearrange of needs
To the world you might be one
But to me you are the world
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And choose me to be your own
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
La da da da
We're all searching for the things that make us matter
We're all hungry in our needing to be whole
Then we find the only thing that really matters
Are the people in our lives whose hearts we hold
Chance
What are the chances
That you would look down from the sky
And claim me to be your own
And Chance
What are the chances
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me

Reflecting on the remarkable and unlikely chance of our love
I can't believe I called it love before you
My previous idea of love was nothing compared to the love I feel for you
I think I even thought I could ignore you
I foolishly believed I could resist my feelings for you
Those days were cold
And I almost faded away
Before you, my life was bleak and unfulfilling
But you changed the way I breathe
You breathed new life into me
And rearrange of needs
You showed me what I really need in life
To the world you might be one
But to me you are the world
To everyone else you may be insignificant, but to me, you are everything
La da da da

We're all searching for the things that make us matter
We all seek to find our purpose
We're all hungry in our needing to be whole
We all feel incomplete without something or someone
Then we find the only thing that really matters
Are the people in our lives whose hearts we hold
Ultimately, the most important thing in life is the relationships we have with those we love
That you would look down from the sky
And claim me to be your own
I am grateful that you chose me to be yours
That you would sacrifice your wings
To become flesh and bone
For me
I am amazed that you would give up so much for me
