Chance
The National Parks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bright lights led me to the deep
If only this was just a game it wouldn’t be so hard to walk away
No, no
Well I roll the dice and I hold my breath
I’ll give you all that I have left
So hold me now before my luck runs out
I think you’re close but I have my doubts
There’s so much more like kings and queens
Well you’ve got me in this trance and I need your hand to win
If I have to leave this up to chance
You’re a gamble and I’m all in
They say the odds are stacked against us babe
We’re a cactus waiting for our desert rain
Well I’ll still place my bet you see
There’s so much more like kings and queens
Well you’ve got me in this trance and I need your hand to win
If I have to leave this up to chance
You’re a gamble and I’m all in
You’re a gamble and I’m all in
You’ve got me in this trance and I need your hand to win
If I have to leave this up to chance
You’re a gamble and I’m all in
Yeah you’re a gamble and I’m all in
You’re a gamble and I’m all in

Lately I've been losing sleep
I've been feeling restless and unable to find peace
The bright lights led me to the deep
The allure of fame and success has taken me into a dark and uncertain place
If only this was just a game it wouldn't be so hard to walk away
If my emotions and connections were not involved, it would be easier for me to let go
Well I roll the dice and I hold my breath
I take risks with uncertainty and hope for a positive outcome
I'll give you all that I have left
I will give you everything I have, even if it leaves me with nothing
So hold me now before my luck runs out
Be with me and support me before my fortunate circumstances come to an end
I think you're close but I have my doubts
I believe you are near, but I still have reservations and uncertainties
I keep looking for what we could be
I continue searching for the potential and possibilities of our relationship
There’s so much more like kings and queens
There are greater things and experiences we can have together, like royalty
Well you’ve got me in this trance and I need your hand to win
You have me captivated and dependent on your support to succeed
If I have to leave this up to chance
If I have to rely on luck and uncertain outcomes
You’re a gamble and I’m all in
You are a risk, but I am fully committed to taking that risk
They say the odds are stacked against us babe
Others believe the chances of our success are unlikely
We’re a cactus waiting for our desert rain
We are patiently waiting for the circumstances to change and bring us the needed support
Well I’ll still place my bet you see
Nevertheless, I will still take a chance and trust in our potential
Yeah you’re a gamble and I’m all in
Yes, you are a risk, but I am fully committed to taking that risk

It would make the world a happier place (in my opinion) if there was a tutorial for playing this song on guitar 😉. At least if you gave us the chords. And maybe even a tutorial for the banjo solo since I'm a banjo player. I'm just saying, I have a special friend that I'd love to play this song with ❤
