about

Adam Mancuso (THE Adam Mancuso) had this to say about The Chances:
"Best OTP song ever? Oh so close to the top (let's say it's the Razor Ramon of the OTP Federation)."

lyrics

You told me that I'd probably never get the chance
to hear you sing out loud.
You said you wish that you could,
but you're just too nervous
to ever let it out.

Well I can just from looking at you
that you're the prettiest hummingbird I ever met.
And even if you're quiet as a mouse,
I can see you've got beautiful songs
locked in your head.

You told me that I'd probably never get the chance
to see you cry.
You said it's not that you're emotionless,
you just don't ever do it
and you don't know why.

Well I can see when you crack a smile
that you're really in love with this world.
But you say "it's only for a little while,
like whenever you're around
all the beauty begins to unfurl."

You told me we should make a list
of all these lovely plans that we think up to do.
You said "I'm afraid some get forgotten,
and they're all so wonderful,
I wanna see 'em all come true."

Well, as for lists you're on the top of mine:
you're the angel high on my tree.
And any doubts, like Christmas lights,
will burn out even before we
get a chance to wrap 'em around our hearts,
just turn on the lights and you'll see:

you make these days like treasure everywhere,
so wrap 'em in your arms,
then wrap 'em like a present
around me.
