James Gillice - Take Our Chances

When it was over I could lift my head from the ground
But I'll always remember the sound
That was ringing in my ear so loud from the crowd
The moment before I went down
As if getting up's not hard enough
When you've just been knocked down
Can't say which way is up
But we'll take our chances again
And we forget our names, our homes,
And everything we've ever known
In an attempt to make some sense of what we've become
So I just laid there for a while
My face to the floor
For how could I take any more
And I had never known such shame
And such pain as this before
And would that I could sink into the floor
As if getting up's not hard enough
When you've just been knocked down
Can't say which way is up
But we'll take our chances again
And we forget our names, our homes,
And everything we've ever known
In an attempt to make some sense of what we've become
So here we are, we're back again
Know that this is not the end
And all the bruises and the scrapes are on the mend
And I remember what went wrong
I guess I knew it all along
But I never reached out my hand
As if getting up's not hard enough
When you've just been knocked down
Can't say which way is up
But we'll take our chances again
And we forget our names, our homes,
And everything we've ever known
In an attempt to make some sense of what we've become
