My Money is on the Long Shot

It's the new standard of

Living on a thinner thread

And the new look now is wanting more but have a little less

The new you isn't who

You thought you knew but it's what's left

Let me catch my breath

Let me try and start explaining this

We always say we want to have it bigger

We always say we want to have it better

Take a look around

Setting ourselves up to hold this down

We wait around for something better

And we always wanted something bigger

But we don't work for it

Cause we know it's much too big a risk

It's a long shot

And my chances can't get worse

And the truth stings

Ringing out with every word

It's ringing out with every word

If you knew the future of

Exactly what lies ahead

Would you change a bit or still let it lead you by the wrist

And we pace and we wait

For the weights to crush what's left

Let me take the hit

Let me see if I unravel this

We wait around for the easy answers

And we ignore what really matters

We let the past sink in

But never learned it's much too big a risk

Much too big a risk

It's a long shot

And my chances can't get worse

And the truth stings

Ringing out with every word

It's a long shot

And my chances can't get worse

And the truth stings

Ringing out with every word

It's ringing out with every word

Ready, set or not

I'll bet all I've got

On the longest shot

Ready, set or not

I'll bet all I've got

On the longest shot

Ready, set or not

I'll bet all I've got

On the longest shot

I'll bet all I've got

On the longest shot
