Chance
Vic Mignogna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It seems I've been waiting forever
Looking for you so long
Love in my life was a gamble
I've been playing my cards all wrong

Now I know there's another
Made it here before me
But he's not all you'd hoped for
Maybe you'd soon be free

I tried to show you my open heart
Show you what true love could be
While we talked of a brand new start
He kept you away from me

[Chorus]
Now am I never gonna get a chance
Am I never gonna have a prayer
Will I never see the moment I've held so tight
Of waking in the night and finding you there
Will I never get to show you the way I feel
And know that you feel it too
Am I never gonna get my chance with you

Mustn't talk of tomorrow
It'll be here too fast
You'll be holding another
I'll be holding onto the past

Not too old to be love sick
Not too young to be sure
I wanna feel this forever
Don't wanna find no cure

And I love everything you are
Everything you've ever been
What's inside when it died
I knew I could bring it to life again, but

[Chorus]
Now am I never gonna get a chance
Am I never gonna have a prayer
Will I never see the moment I've held so tight
Of waking in the night and finding you there
Will I never get to show you the way I feel
And know that you feel it too
Am I never gonna get my chance
Get my chance
Get my chance...

I don't know how to make you stay
But I know we understand
What it means that we tremble
At the touch of each other's hand, but

[Chorus]
Am I never gonna get a chance
Am I never gonna have a prayer
Will I never see the moment I've held so tight
Of waking in the night and finding you there
Will I never get to show you the way I feel
And know that you feel it too
Am I never gonna get my chance... with you




No, no, no
No, no...

Line by Line Meaning

It seems I've been waiting forever
I feel like I've been looking for you for an eternity


Looking for you so long
I've been searching for the one I love for a very long time


Love in my life was a gamble
I had no guarantees when it came to love


I've been playing my cards all wrong
I haven't always made the right decisions when it comes to love


Now I know there's another
I've come to realize that there is another man


Made it here before me
He got to you first


But he's not all you'd hoped for
He's not everything you wanted in a partner


Maybe you'd soon be free
Perhaps you will be single again soon


I tried to show you my open heart
I wanted to reveal my true feelings to you


Show you what true love could be
I wanted to demonstrate what genuine love looks like


While we talked of a brand new start
We had discussed beginning a fresh chapter together


He kept you away from me
He prevented me from being with you


Now am I never gonna get a chance
Will I never have an opportunity to be with you


Am I never gonna have a prayer
Do I have no hope of being with you


Will I never see the moment I've held so tight
Will I never experience the moment I've been longing for


Of waking in the night and finding you there
Of waking up at night and seeing that you are with me


Will I never get to show you the way I feel
Will I not have the chance to express my true feelings to you


And know that you feel it too
And have the assurance that you feel the same way


Mustn't talk of tomorrow
We should not discuss the future


It'll be here too fast
The future will come too quickly


You'll be holding another
You will be with someone else


I'll be holding onto the past
I'll be holding onto past memories of you


Not too old to be love sick
I'm not too old to be smitten with love


Not too young to be sure
I'm not too young to know that I want to be with you


I wanna feel this forever
I want to experience this love forever


Don't wanna find no cure
I don't want to get over my feelings for you


And I love everything you are
I love every aspect of your personality


Everything you've ever been
I love all that you've experienced in your life


What's inside when it died
Whatever love you had inside you that may have faded away


I knew I could bring it to life again, but
I know I can revive that love inside you once again, but


I don't know how to make you stay
I do not know how to keep you by my side


But I know we understand
But I do know that we understand each other


What it means that we tremble
What it signifies that we shake


At the touch of each other's hand, but
When we touch each other's hands, but


No, no, no
The singer is repeating "no" three times

"What's inside that has died in you? I could bring it back to life." Jeez Ed! Haven't you learned already that you can't bring things back from the dead?? Haha, joking aside, this song is amazing :D

Oh my god. . . This is so sad! It reminds me so so much of Zero and I know this is how he truly feels, even though he doesn't show it much towards Yuki. ;-; I just wished that he got to be Yuki. They belonged together. 

Kokoro 『❤』

Zero and Yuki do get married at the end in manga! ^^
They have a son and Yuki had a daugther with Kaname~!
They are showed more in the bonus chapters.

This is a Vampire Knight song, its literally called 'Zeros Chance'

I think it's funny how this became Zero's little theme song even though this song came out 2 years before Vampire Knight was ever published.

Alexander The Great
