Five for Fighting – Chances Lyrics 13 years ago
Chances are when said and done
Who will be the lucky ones
Who make it all the way?

Chance will be the only thing that determines the outcome of our relationships.
Everything is random…everything is in the hands of circumstance.
It sucks, but sometimes, no matter how hard we try, it is all just left to chance.
Chance is nothing more than luck, hope or expectation, or a possibility.
There’s absolutely nothing we can do about it, and the writer HATES IT!!!

Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever
No matter how it feels today

The writer loves that she feels that they are definitely meant for each other.
However, he will not believe it because he does not want to be let down.
He believes that it is all in the hands of “chance” and is too scared to get too wrapped up in anything that can so easily slip away.


Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances run away from me
Chances are all they hope to be

The likelihood of every relationship is that it will not last forever.
We all believe that each relationship could be “the one”, but they are rarely permanent.
Chance is still the power in full control and chance will determine our outcomes.

Don't get me wrong I never say never
Cause though love can’t change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you

The writer is admitting that this relationship is pretty damn strong.
It is stronger than most things, but still not as strong as chance.

I'm just a realistic man
A bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I'll see us through

So the writer knows the feelings are strong, but he is still convinced that chance is stronger. So he will commit, a little bit, but not enough to be crushed if chance decides to end this relationship.
This is the best line in the song and we’ve all been there.
We’ve all been here before.
In a relationship that we could only bring ourselves to commit to a little bit.
Scared if we let ourselves get too emotionally wrapped up in it that we would be CRUSHED when it ended.
“Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you”


Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances run away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
And possibilities

This is where the writer’s opinion starts to turn a bit.
He says that he still believes that chance will lead them apart.
However, he is now saying that maybe a chance is more than just hope or a possibility.


Eight to five or two to one
Lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done?
Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you bring
You've got to cry before you see

Now the writer has pretty much turned.
He says that while love might be a gamble, what better winnings could a bet pay out than true love.
He is also trying to convince himself that it will be okay if they fail.
He says, “Until you crash what have you done?” meaning if you don’t try, you’ll never succeed.
You’ll have to fail a time or two if you really want to find the right one.



Chances lost are hopes torn up pages
Maybe this time

Now he has completely turned and is saying that if chances are not taken, then hope will never be fulfilled.


Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken
And I can see

Now he’s looking at it all differently.
Now chances are what will make it possible for him to find the right relationship.
Not only that, but chances are what will give him the confidence to take the leap.


Chances are the fascination
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them
And all I need

Now chances are not only a blessing, they are all that he needs, and he won’t let them slip through his fingers again.

GREAT JOB JOHN!!!

Saying "Set you apart" is like saying "put you up on a pedestal".

Warrant – I Saw Red Lyrics 15 years ago
Written from Jani Lane's heart.
The song details his feelings when he walked in on his ex cheating on him with Bret Michaels.

Every once in a while, Warrant would surprise us with some very poignant lines.
I think that this is one of their best:
"And I didn't need to see his face...I saw yours"
