Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I think you had your L-words confused
But that's alright, no really it's fine
Cause that's something you'll see in due time
So I figured that before you're to leave
I should sit down and roll up my sleeves
Put pen to paper and fingers to strings
I'm sure you know, that I'm gonna be waiting for you
And oh I know, that you want to tell me not to
But you say you don't, don't want to break my heart but
You don't realize, If you don't take that chance well then you already are
So go on take the time that you need
I just hope you can see
That I'm not trying to rush
It's just when it comes to you I can't get enough
Go on and head down south
But just remember that when you come back around
I'll be right here waiting for you
Si no me olvides mientras estas en Peru
I'm sure you know, that I'm gonna be waiting for you
And oh I know, that you want to tell me not to
But you say you don't, don't want to break my heart but
You don't realize, If you don't take that chance well then you already are
The lyrics to Friends' song 'Take a Chance' tell the story of a person who confesses their feelings for someone they care about deeply. The singer recalls the night they spent together, where they laid on the walkway and had a conversation about love. They believe that the person they're speaking to may have had their "L-words confused", but they're fine with that because they know that in time it will work itself out.
The singer reflects on their own feelings and realizes that they need to express themselves before the person they care about leaves. They sit down and write a song about how much that person means to them, hoping that it will convey their emotions. They want the person to know that they will be waiting for them, even if it means taking a chance and risking heartbreak. They urge the person to take a chance on them, because if they don't, they are already breaking their heart.
Overall, the lyrics are about taking a chance on love, even if it means there's a chance of getting hurt. The singer is willing to take that risk, and hopes that the person they care about will do the same.

朝が来たってふとんは
わたしを離さない
深く深く沈んで ベットに潜る
満員電車におしつぶされて
涙は出ないけど泣けてくる
息まで詰まりそうな
毎日に嫌気が刺すんだ
ここから飛び出したい
動けば
take a chance
take a chance
誰のための私？
誰でもないでしょ
自分自身をもっと
愛していこう
時にはね甘やかしてみてよ
細かいことは気にしないでさ
今すぐ抜け出したいの
少しの勇気を持って
何回だってこえていこうぜ
躓いて転んだってオーライ
いつだってそばにいるよ
呼んだら
take a chance
take a chance
案外そんな大したこと
ないからね気楽にいこうよ
いつだってそばにいるよ
呼んだら
take a chance
take a chance
何回だってこえていこうぜ
躓いて転んだってオーライ
いつだってそばにいるよ
呼んだら
take a chance
take a chance
いつも いつも
だれかを気にせずにいようよ
自分 らしく
確かなこと見つけようよ
