[Verse 1]
Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't wanna 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
[Chorus]
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 a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
[Verse 2]
I just wanna start again (I just wanna start again)
And maybe you could show me how to try
And maybe you could take me in (Take me in)
Somewhere underneath your skin
[Chorus]
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 a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
[Verse 3]
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 lying 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
[Chorus]
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 a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
[Outro]
Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
Don't know much about your life
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't wanna 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
[Chorus]
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 a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
[Verse 2]
I just wanna start again (I just wanna start again)
And maybe you could show me how to try
And maybe you could take me in (Take me in)
Somewhere underneath your skin
[Chorus]
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 a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
[Verse 3]
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 lying 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
[Chorus]
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 a hand to hold, or hell to pay
What do you say?
What do you say?
[Outro]
Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
