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
