"A Ghost Of A Chance" Lyrics

Everybody knows we're the perfect pair.
We used to know that too, we used to tear down the walls when they rose.
Now we long for the greener grass that never really comes to pass.
We hold fast as disillusion grows.
Will you leave me sitting here upon my fence,
With all the time and consequence, to become what I seem?
You know what is best for us I guess.
I can only hope you'll acquiesce and give me all that I dream.

*Chorus

I've got the feeling there will be no sleep tonight
While we've got a ghost of a chance.
What's it going to take to finally make this right
While we've got a ghost of a chance.

You're never really ready when this moment arrives.
We always knew that we'd run for our lives
Didn't think it would be a marathon.
We found heaven on earth for a while until broken trust crumbles to dust
Into piles that we've swept under the rug for far too long.
I loved you with the fever of the sun
Now the ties that bind us are undone.
Is there nothing we have learned?
You know what is best for us I guess and from your ivory tower you profess
To a paradise burned.

*Chorus

I don't need your therapy, no need to know what you think of me
If you've already made up your mind it's a hopeless case.
Someday far away it will all come clear and be much simpler than it appears
When we're staring into space and ringing our hands
Beacause we had a ghost of a chance.
