Shot In The Dark Lyrics
I had a reason for the life that was ahead of me
I had a reason, had a rhyme, had a destiny
I thought i knew where was heading
I would never look back
I had it all and then i went and let it slip away
I'm working overtime, I'm gonna make it anyway.
Sometimes you win, Sometimes you lose
Sometimes you never get it back
Rising up slowly, we're getting higher
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we've still got a shot in the dark
Sometimes in life you need the people that you think you trust.
Wake up one day to find that everything had turned to dust.
I always knew that you'd be waiting for me when I got back.
Keep rising up slowly and getting higher.
I been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we've still got a shot in the dark
I'm gonna find a way (x3)
I have a reason for the life that's right in front of me
I've got a rhyme, got a reason, got a destiny
I know exactly where I'm headed
And I'm never looking back
Cause nothing's holding me back
And nothing's holding me back...
...from rising up slowly and getting higher.
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Rising up slowly and getting higher.
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, man but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we've still got a shot in the dark
I know that I've still got a shot.
I had a reason, had a rhyme, had a destiny
I thought i knew where was heading
I would never look back
I'm working overtime, I'm gonna make it anyway.
Sometimes you win, Sometimes you lose
Sometimes you never get it back
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we've still got a shot in the dark
Wake up one day to find that everything had turned to dust.
I always knew that you'd be waiting for me when I got back.
I been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we've still got a shot in the dark
I've got a rhyme, got a reason, got a destiny
I know exactly where I'm headed
And I'm never looking back
And nothing's holding me back...
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
I've been living with a hole in my heart
Weighing down on me, man but I'm a fighter
Darlin' I've still got a shot in the dark
Baby, we've still got a shot in the dark
I know that I've still got a shot.

Like most of his songs I feel like it's about his personal relationship with his wife... Having not been there and taking it for grain of salt. Great message because everyone has been there. You don't realize what you have until it's gone or your losing it.
This is my personal anthem! Love this song!
Anyone who ever said, "I'm a lover not a fighter," has never had the true experience of love.
Love is something you have to fight for every day, even when that choice is difficult (or far-fetched).
The best part of this song is perhaps the verb tense change, from the first to final verse, from past tense to present tense, Such an excellent parallel, highlighted by the stripping away of the instruments.
The certainty is truly frightening; but yes, have courage.
This song speaks to me on such a personal level, it emphasises that it won't always be smooth sailing when it comes to love and life.
He made mistakes, that left him feeling depressed and disappointed in himself. He acknowledges those mistakes and has the faith and hope that he can get his life back on track. Even if it seems unlikely, we always have a chance and a choice. He had the strength to continue fighting for what he lost and isn't giving up.
