Originally written in October 2010, the only changes to this track are the repeated chorus at the end.
lyrics
Do I keep tempting fate for something to do?
Something to prove? Feeling so moved
Once again I rise, rise, rise above
Such a sucker for the glory of love
Slipping in subtleties of my adoration
Completely ignoring any complication
We've got all the time in the world and still we panic
If we're not infatuated then we need to work on it
Put your hand in mine and we'll close our eyes
If we can't see it, we can't be seen
Put your hand in mine and don't fear a demise
Time and time again, we make the slate look clean
Do the highs outweigh the lows?
The fall is always so far and I know it shows
Yet still we fight to earn
Our destiny to love and be loved in return
The back and forth only strengthens my resolve
It's worth it to feel all that stress just dissolve, and
Good to know I've still got the skills
Good to know I've got the will to fulfil
Let's call this a game of hide and beguile
But deep inside I know it can only be a while
Before I fall head first into this surrender
I'm predictable, but does that mean I'm not versatile?
Put your faith in me and I'll claim the top of the world
And I'll do it in your honour, my dear
Put your hand in mine and don't fear the end
Why worry? Live for right now, right here
Do the highs outweigh the lows?
The fall is always so far and I know it shows
Yet still we fight to earn
Our destiny to love and be loved in return
What a surprise, I'm ahead of myself again
After all, has this even begun to begin?
All I've got to look back on is heartbreak and disappointment
Still, I want this despite the inevitable torment
And why is this?
How can this make sense?
Falling to death is hardly my intent
But what are the chances?
What are the chances?
What are the chances that this will all go so smooth?
Do I keep tempting fate for something to do?
Something to prove? Feeling so moved
Once again I rise to this
Rise to this
Rise to this.
Do the highs outweigh the lows?
The fall is always so far and I know it shows
Yet still we fight to earn
Our destiny to love and be loved in return
What are the chances? Fuck the chances.
