Cover art for Chances lyrics by Five for Fighting

here are the lyrics I heard: Chances are, when said and done Who'll be the lucky ones Who make it all the way Though you say I could be your answer Nothing lasts forever No matter how it feels today

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

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

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

8-5, or 2-1 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 gotta cry before you see chances Chances

Chances lost our hopes, torn out pages Maybe this time, Chances are we'll be the combination, Chances come and carry me Chances are waiting 'till they take it, And I can see

Chances are the fascination, Chances won't escape from me Chances are only what we're living. And all I need.

It seem s that what he is trying to say is that there is always chance about everything and that things can go right or wrong. mikerobe007 seems right about the fact of starting a new relationship.

This is another great song from Five For Fighting. He continually delivers great songs with great lyrics and meanings.

What I got from this one was that you're either in a relationship that you feel is nearing the end or you're in a relationship and being realistic that the chances are it will not last. Look at the divorce rate for the U.S., the numbers are nearly 50-50!

In some of his lyrics - like the line "no act of god could pull my away from you" -- that makes me think the relationship is not over or at...

I think he is just saying it is what you make it and relationships in general are work. Good song:)
