Cover art for Chances lyrics by Five for Fighting

First of all, though I'm not sure about what the lyrics should be, I'm pretty sure you're wrong in the bridge. For instance, I think the last line is "You gotta cry before you sing", instead of "You got a crowd then float you see". Also, I think earlier on it's "Don't get me wrong, I never say never".

As for meaning, to me it's about starting a new relationship with someone. Chances are it's not going to last, no matter how it feels at the beginning. I think it could be about whether or not a relationship is worth having when you're unsure of its outcome, but he seems to be saying that sometimes it's worth taking the chance.

Maybe a bit cheesy, but I like the song!
