Lyrics[]

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
(it's 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
