Pompeii Graffiti - Take a Chance on Me Lyrics

I found you down by the riverside
You were dressed in white and cast aside
By a prince with too much pride
To admit when he was wrong
You said "Oh my god how can this be?
What a cruel fate, my destiny"?
So we talked just you and me
And until the daylight comes

We could laugh and dance
And drink the night away
If you just take a chance on me
And promise that you'll stay
Cuz I'm not like those other guys
Too god damn scared to live their lives
Please, Cara, don't you ever change

We walked a while along the shore
Until we came up to my door
I said "please come inside,
Let's try to get you warm"
You see I'm really good at breaking things
Like promises and guitar strings
And beautiful girls' hearts
I break them all apart

We could laugh and dance
And drink the night away
If you just take a chance on me
And promise that you'll stay
Cuz I'm not like those other guys
Too god damn scared to live their lives
Please, Cara don't you ever change

You said you really loved me
Or do you just need to be loved
Cuz I know sometimes you're really lonely
And sometimes you're all of the above

I tried to get over it
And I tried to change
Sometimes words don't tell all of it
And sometimes things stay the same
I know, I know, I know

I found you down by the riverside
You were dressed in white and cast aside
By a prince with too much pride
To admit when he was wrong

But you and me we have something
And I can feel your heart beating
As your chest rises and falls
Yeah, I though I'd seen it all

Now we laugh and dance
And drink the night away
Cuz you took a chance on me
When I promised that I'd stay
Cuz I'm not like those other guys
Too god damn scared to live their lives
Please Cara don't you ever change
Please Cara don't you ever change
Please Cara don't you ever change
