Long Shot by Kelly Clarkson

The lyrical genius of Matt Theissen and Kelly Clarkson's voice: What more can we ask for?

I felt it, the wire touched my neck 
And then someone pulled it tighter 
I never saw it coming, I started to black out 
And then someone said good morning 
I took it as a warning 
I should have seen it coming 
So now I'll take a chance on 
This thing we may have started 
Intentional or not, I don't think we saw it coming 
It's all adding up to something 
That asks for some involvement 
That ask for our commitment 
I think I see it coming 
If we step out of that limb 

My heart beat beats me senselessly 
Why's everything got to be so intense with me 
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability 
In all probability 

It's a long shot, but I say why not 
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it 
It's a long shot just to beat these odds 
The chance is we won't make it 
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance 
'Cause you're the best I got 
So take a long shot 

I realize that there is all this starting 
Things we're both scared about 
That we'll never see them coming 
Throw caution to the wind 
And we'll see which way it's blowing 
And to this pulling on 
We'll never see it coming 
Until it's much to close to stop 

My heart beat beats me senselessly 

Why's everything got to be so intense with me 
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability 
In all probability 

It's a long shot, but I say why not 
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it 
It's a long shot just to beat these odds 
The chance is we won't make it 
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance 
'Cause you're the best I got 
So take a long shot 

Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction 
And you fit my description 
I never saw you coming 
But we'll make it 

It's a long shot, but I say why not 
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it 
It's a long shot just to beat these odds 
The chance is we won't make it 
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance 
'Cause you're the best I got 
So take a long shot 

There's no chance, there's no chance 
'Cause you're the best I got 
It's a long shot but I say why not 
If I say forget it I know that I'll regret it 
It's a long shot just to beat these odds 
The chance is we won't make it 
But I know if I don't take it 
It's a long shot but I say why not 
Oh you never saw me coming
