Strokes, The - Chances Lyrics






I waited for ya
I waited for ya
I waited on ya
But now I don't

You didn't see it
I didn't see it
I didn't see it
But now, oh, I do

I play your game
I play your game
Now
I play your game
I play your game

I take my chances alone
Get on your horse and be gone
I will not wait up for you anymore
So you can ask me if something is wrong
Will you go?
I don't know anymore

When the night isn't ready for you
It's a fleeting unorthodox view
They invited a stewardess, too
Now they want you to see it
Here's to days he decides he's got time
And he claims that it's not a surprise
When he finds out the truth's on his side

I take my chances alone
Get on your horse and be gone
I will not wait up for you anymore
So you can ask me if something is wrong
Will you go?
I don't know anymore
I don't believe anyone
As they crawl out of my way

Waiting for the night
Leaving night by night
You can see me travel
We could be in trouble every night
We're having a new life

    a million masterpiece of Julian

  22. C.... K....

    Masterpiece

  23. K.... ....

    The kind of song and album that grows on you with time. Comedown Machine is a underrated masterpiece.

    gostei bastante.parece submarino ehehehe esta top

  28. L.... B....

    Only here cause Alex told me to listen to this 🙄 lol

  29. K.... P....

    It's "Will you go". Not "Little Girl"

  30. C.... a....

    Am i the only one who likes the way he says "dogs you"

  31. C.... K....

    Mix and combine vocals less like salad.

  32. C.... K....

    This is Good. Get Great with the lead singer of the Strokes more and the lead singer of the Voidz more.

  33. W.... ....

    I'm currently located somewhere between this song and "Eventually" by Tame Impala when it comes to my SO right now. The end is near. I hope we're both ready. It was fun for most of the 6 years, but those times are definitely in the past now.

  34. C.... K....

    Who is the writer? Who is the singer?

    C.... K....

    Julian Casablancas is the singer - a wonderful frontman

  35. C.... K....

    I love the lyrics, melody and beat.

  36. C.... K....

    This is my style.

  37. C.... K....

    He said "Nice job, but my name is Nik, not Julian."

  38. R.... F....

    Great album, for sure.

  39. P.... O....

    Im dreppresed

  40. J.... y....

    this is one of those songs that you can actually listen to over and over and doesn’t tarnish with each play

  41. C.... K....

    This song -- the melody -- the lyrics -- the music great... The vocals need better mixing. A+.

  42. A.... A....

    Julian doesn’t think of himself as a serious poet but he fucking is

  43. A.... ....

    Nice!! :''''''C''''''

  44. A.... V....

    Their lyrics are always so good. Sometimes vaguely melancholic and very open to interpretation, but still so mood-heavy and visceral

  45. I.... ....

    Just that song you lay down on the bedroom floor and just stare up at the ceiling fan spinning, feelings of nostalgia and melancholy...for no reason.

    I.... ....

    Exactly

  46. R.... M....

    essa música é o amor da minha vida... Forever.

  47. C.... B....

    We could be in trouble every night ♥

  48. F.... ....

    Wow, great... 0:28 - 0:37 is pretty lit, is that Julian?

  49. B.... B....

    Outstanding song

  50. t.... i....

    wow this sounds just like everything everything

  51. M.... ....

    2019????

    M.... ....

  52. r.... ....

    get on your horse and BEGONE THOT

  53. o.... s....

  54. J.... Z....

    Lay down in fetal position try dont cry, cry a lot with thumb on your mouth

  55. A.... S....

    man I'm 23 and I fucked up my true love
    and I been living with this shit for like 7 years now

  56. F.... G....

    Eu não entendo uma frase completa em inglês mas, meu coração fica em completa paz quando ouço essa música !

  57. F.... S....

    not now plis.

  58. N.... W....

    It’s will you go? not little girl. Still sounds good though. Would have used the little girl on the first and will you go on the second.

  59. A.... C....

    After a lot of songs singing about "waiting for you", they're tired of it and now they sing "I don't"

  60. M.... ....

    Will you go, not little girl

  61. P.... P....

    Their best song. I’ll get hate for this but prove me wrong.

    P.... P....

    Patrick Pinon no I agree. This and a lot of other songs lol. Wish they performed this live.

  62. T.... T....

    Underrated

  63. j.... ....

    2018???

  64. G.... N....

    This whole album was the definition of peak Strokes synergy.
    The dreamy guitar riffs and synths paired with Julian's falsetto gets that magic.

  65. b.... ....

    Boa música 🎶⏳

  66. P.... c....

    1:33 remember automatic stop

  67. T.... 1....

  70. C.... A....

    I play your game, I play your game 😭

  71. C.... S....

    Masterpiece

  72. E.... A....

    you ain't even lying about my heart to realize

  73. S.... T....

    This song is pure love !

  74. s.... ....

    Does anyone else think this is probably isn't about a girl but about Julian's dad? 🤔

    s.... ....

    steph that’s what i heard some people say and honestly this just makes the song 1000 times sadder

  75. i.... p....

    Saddest song they've ever made imo. The man has ultimately given up on a love that has kept him waiting, which will undoubtedly haunt him for the rest of life.

    He just hopes that the pain he feels is also felt by her. He knows that she will feel sadness, but his frustration at never seeing her has taken over him. It's a song about how someone can love someone so much that they, in turn, become selfish and untrustworthy of everyone that is around him/her.

    Can't quite make out the last lines. Maybe they are ultimately going separate ways to start "a new life" or have come to the conclusion that they will be together to start "a new life." Unfortunately it seems like it's the former. Damn that's sad.

    i.... p....

    This guy gets it.

    i.... p....

    You learn that everything isn't bout you and what you want. This song embodies passing on and moving on, fuck wanting her to feel what you feel,that defeats the whole purpose of what you've learned from the relationship.

    i.... p....

    infinity plus actually julian is said to have written this about his father so it makes a little sense

    i.... p....

    You have to be greater than that if u suffer all your life that's on you

  76. A.... B....

    Get on your horse and be gone..

  77. P.... R....

    Having the biggest throwback

  78. c.... c....

    有人喜欢吗

  79. R.... O....

  82. M.... a....

    Putos todos

  83. l.... ....

    go in the comments of any strokes vid and u realize strokes fans are relatively emotional ppl compared to other bandoms

  84. s.... s....

    I remember how i used to listen to this all the time when a guy I once dated didn't care for my feelings and eventually I lost them completely while still with him. Made leaving him so much easier.

  85. l.... ....

    LOVVV VEEE

  86. K.... M....

    Why can't they be on tour again?!!!😭 #since04

  87. s.... i....

  92. F.... J....

    When your crush finally likes you back after rejecting you...

  93. L.... F....

    This song takes me back to one of my past lives.

  94. E.... M....

    Mr Lauck brought me here
