Outside Chance

Lyrics

I know that I’m not what you expected
I recognise the tension in your stance
It’s not a post for which I was elected
I’m hoping that I have an outside chance

And just because I’m someone you rejected
I think I still deserve a second glance
I know I’m not the one that you selected
But maybe I still have an outside chance

Maybe it’s a million to one
Take it long before it’s gone
I’m the last one at the dance
Maybe I’ve a second chance

I hope you don’t believe I’ve been infected
I’m not a case of that St Vitus dance
Whatever I have got is undetected
I’m hoping that I have an outside chance

Maybe it’s a million to one
Take it long before it’s gone
I’m the last one at the dance
Maybe I’ve a second chance

And whether it was right to be inspected
I’ll put myself into a mystic trance
I’ll try to keep cool calm and collected
I’m hoping that I have an outside chance

I really like the structure of this one -- feels classic. Your lyrics dance around specifics but the message gets through. I like that second chance/outside chance idea. Nice write!
