I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE

In quiet stillness
of the night, I lay,
My heart beating
to the rhythm of the rain,
Through the window,
I can almost see your face,
And I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE,
to be with you again.

CHORUS:
I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE,
To drown in your embrace,
Oh, I would leap through the flames,
To kiss your tender face.
The wind whispers secrets
of our sad and tragic past,
I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE
to see if we could make it last.

In a world full
of sorrow and despair,
Your laughter echoes
like a prayer,
Every word you
say, a melody,
And I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE,
to set my spirit free.

CHORUS:
I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE, To drown in your embrace,
Oh, I would leap through the flames, To kiss your tender face.
The wind whispers secrets of our sad and tragic past,
I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE to see if we could make it last.

GUITAR SOLO

As the sun sets
and darkness falls,
I'm missing when
you were inside these walls,
In the silence
here your voice remains,
And I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE,
to try things once again.

CHORUS:
I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE, To drown in your embrace,
Oh, I would leap through the flames, To kiss your tender face.
The wind whispers secrets of our sad and tragic past,
I WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE to see if we could make it last.

i love your rhythmic phrases on the verses and the way the passion exerts itself, replacing for the rhythm with propulsion. on the chorus

So much to like about this. The use of the title as the penultimate line of the verses is very effective. Nice contrast between the verse and the chorus. The vocals and harmonies, the strings, a wonderful light touch with the guitar solo.. great stuff.

Clever title. Beach Boys vibe. Enjoyed some the breaks between some of the words in the vocals. Way to give it some oomph!

Nice guitar intro! I really like the phrasing you use in the verses - those pauses in the first and fifth line really caught my ear. The title line is also very powerful and evokes very vivid imagery I would imagine for many of us. Very memorable melodies in both the verse and chorus also. The whole song is just very smooth - beautiful vocals and instrumentation, perfect transitions and truly a lovely listen!

Oh gosh this is so good! Who hasn't felt a little like this at one time or another? This sounds radio ready and it's so wonderful!

Great sounding vocals and music with a good beat and an awesome lyric. Another great title hook.
