[Verse 1]
Does she feel the energy the way that I do?
In the air whenever we get in the same room?
'Cause I don't know how to read her mind
And I don't wanna cross the line
Does she know I'm thinking 'bout her plenty?
Overthinking if she'd even let me
Move in close enough to hear me say
[Pre-Chorus]
That I don't wanna go home and leave as just friends
But I keep letting her go, and then it just ends
[Chorus]
I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me
[Verse 2]
Tell me, tell me, tell me where you are now
I could show up in the middle of the night to
Try to make up for the time we lost
Try to put a little love on us
'Cause I know I still think about her plenty
If I found the confidence, yeah, would she let me?
Or does it always have to be this way?
[Pre Chorus]
It's caught inside of my mind, what we could have been
But I keep letting her go, and then it just ends
[Chorus]
I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Now that she's gone, gone, gone
And now that it's done, done, done
I should've known that I was better
If I gave us a chance, we'd be together
[Chorus]
I was a no, never maybe
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
How did it go? We'll never see
I knew she'd never take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe (Didn't know better)
No, we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me
I didn't know no better
I wouldn't let myself believe that we'll never see
'Cause I never let her take a chance, let her take a chance on me

I’m always starved for hopeful queer stories onscreen, and I really wanted to direct a narrative that focused on the happier ‘honeymoon’ phase of a relationship, to show what can happen if we take a chance on ourselves and have that love reciprocated. The video is meant to portray those first few we...
“Chance” is a song based on those moments when I denied my true feelings for someone out of fear of rejection, and therefore didn’t allow someone to take a chance on me. I hope this song empowers people to push past their own self-doubt and realize how worthy they are of love.
