Taking Chances

There's a song I've loved for months now. I would think of last fall and P when I heard this song--because the words that jumped out to me were, don't know much about your life...your world...What do you say about taking chances...

Today I looked up the lyrics. These lyrics show a very vulnerable side.
The first time I read that, I thought, it was just about her not wanting to be alone, but, then after I thought about it, I realized if I put those lyrics into my relationship w/ him in the beginning, it wasn't like that and I was also vulnerable.

I don't know much about your world,
I don't know much about your life,
I don't know much about your past,
You don't know about much of my past
I don't know where my life is going
Even though my heart has been stomped on, it feels safe to slowly open my heart to you,
I"m enjoying our time together,
and I don't want to spend tonight without you.
Sometimes I find my mind wondering and wandering,
I want to know more and more about who you are.....
There are no guarantees in life--It's all about taking chances...


So, P--you think of me w/ "If Everyone Cared" lyrics, I think of you with this song. :-)

"Taking Chances"
Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.

And maybe it's not meant to last,
But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

And I had my heart beaten down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There's nothing like love to pull you up,
When you're laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me, walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.

What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?

Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
