Chances.

Chances.

Lyrics and Vocals: Swiss folk/pop band ‘WintersHome’ [Joel Müller, Romaine Blum, Pirmin Zurbriggen Junior, Maria Mazzone, and Martial Chanton].

Chances.

“Chances” is an introspective folk-pop song about seeing someone, feeling a connection, and then chickening out, and how that tiny failure reflects a larger pattern of avoiding risks, doubting yourself, and letting life’s chances slip by.

Chances.

I looked you in the eyes,
Just for a second of time.
I saw you see me,
My heart started beating but I was too shy.
Could have given you smiles,
Or at least say “Hi”,
Instead I pretended not to see you,
Oh what a lie.
I could have followed you slowly,
Come along all the way,
Instead I move in slow motion until you disappeared behind the gate.

Chorus
I was dying to meet you but now I’m just living on,
And I should have expected that nothing would happen at all.
Oh oh oh oh, oh-oh, nothing happened at all, oh-oh, oh-oh,
This is where I’ll be falling down,
All my chances are gone.

Since life is a race,
I’m running off when something unknown comes my way.
You didn’t come to stay,
Don’t even know who I am,
I’m overestimating everything I am.
See upcoming pop shows,
Get tickets for your favourite artists,
I could have followed you slowly,
Come along all the way,
Instead I move in slow motion until you disappeared behind the gate.

Chorus

I was dying to meet you but now I’m just living on,
And I should have expected that nothing would happen at all.
I was dying to meet you but now I’m just living on,
And I should have expected that nothing would happen at all,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, nothing happened at all, oh-oh, oh-oh,
This is where I’ll be falling down,
All my chances are gone.
