Chance Encounters Songtext
von The Menzingers

So sick of being lonely
Do you want to get to know me?
I′m a zero, I'm a weirdo, I′m a struggling super hero
But I'm a star in outer space
Ask any alien they'll say
I′m the real deal

We found each other in our worst ways
Everything was going, gone
All the drugs we took for breakfast
Couldn′t convince us nothing's wrong
Do you ever feel like nothing′s real
Like the Truman show or something
Way more miserable?

If we tell each other secrets
Even the dark parts that don't glow
Maybe life could feel
A little less alone


We may never stand a chance
But we still gotta try
No one′s coming to save us
From ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chance encounters

I felt sinister on the sidewalk
Intrusive thoughts abound
I kinda felt like jumping into traffic downtown
It all blurs together
And it barely makes sense
We were 16 once, we will never be again

How you listened, oh my god
What a spiritual awakening
How I listened, oh my god
To the genius you're self-training
Maybe things can never be the same
And that′s okay

If we tell each other secrets
Even the dark parts that don't glow
Maybe life could feel
A little less alone


We may never stand a chance
But we still gotta try
No one's coming to save us
From ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chance encounters

Chalk it up to fate, or whatever
Blame it on a higher power
For this chance encounter
Maybe the right stars have aligned
And we′ve crossed into a parallel life
From this chance encounter

We may never stand a chance
But we still gotta try
No one′s coming to save us
From ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chance encounters
