Jaclyn!

Here’s to Taking Chances

V1) I have no reason to trust you/ I should fully expect you to break my heart/ if I wanted to protect it/ I would harden myself from the very start/ but, they tell me that it’s worth it/ that the risk of heart break is worth the reward/ so, I guess I’ll take my chances/ because maybe finding love is what life’s for/

Chorus) so, here’s to shameless flirting/ hoping that I’ll find a guy who will absolutely make my heart sing/ so, here’s to awkward eye contact with strangers passing by/ because it just might turn into something/ here’s to sharing all my sober thoughts/ with any drunken boy I choose/ so, here’s to taking chances/ what have I got to lose?/

V2) I am terribly conflicted/ I don’t know whether I should go or stay/ because, leaving would be safer/ you can’t hurt me as badly from far away/ but, if I stay a little longer/ there’s a possibility that this could work/ maybe the flavor of your kisses/ is worth the chance that I may end up hurt/

V3) spontaneity is key/ the one thing you expect from me/ is unpredictability/ well, this could be a start/ taking all restrictions off my heart/ for absolutely everyone to see/
