Chance


(from UK "Everybody Hurts" CD single)
Chance, chance, chance, chance

Friday bank card yours got stuck
I loaned you a phone quarter, said "Good luck"
Where are you now?

Me and glasses Saturday slump
You and your shopping, I looked up
Our eyes met, mine are green
You'd had a peroxide thing
Call now, look me up

Sunday walk, Weaver's Park,
I was on the lakeside
Where the playgrounds meet
In bare feet
You said, "Mighty cold today"
You never see what I think
You didn't like your daytime job
I was born to travel

You were a camera, I dropped my keys
I'm on the northbound, you were asleep
I said, "Are you holding?"
"You wanna ride the silent sky?"
I wrote a story on the fly
You in the tabletop
I said, "I've had enough of the city."

I held a bag of apples
You at the last table
I had had a soy dog
Cafe streetside, Tuesday bloom
You wanna be on fire, I said I hung the moon

Wednesday grocery, corner of Vine,
You were in the checkout line
I dropped my frozen dinners, you helped pick them up

Thursday cab rush, our block,
You with broken accent, my heart stopped
You laughed, I worry

Chance, chance, chance, chance
Swarming like a dozen crushing blows
All those glances, midtime dances
Chance

I never looked it up
You hit the sidewalk talking
Said, "I'd read the ads"
Do you?
Where are you? Will you read this? Can I see?
This is surely moving faster than I can think

A minute shy, a passing eye
I know I saw you there
Will you read this? Can I see? What did I see?
Chance, chance, chance, chance
Swimming like a dozen crushing blows
All those midtime dances
Chance

Guys, this is very tedious... stop!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

R.E.M. was an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1980. Considered one of the most influential bands in the formation of alternative rock and indie, R.E.M. became one of the biggest rock groups in the world in the early 1990s. Initially, they attracted an underground following, but their popularity then blossomed into mainstream success, moving from cramped bars to expansive sports arenas and festival stages over a career spanning three decades. The band consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar), Mike Mills (bass) and Bill Berry (drums). R.E.M. is known for its distinctive sound, a mix of catchy melodies, poetic lyrics and experimental arrangements. Some of their most representative songs include "Losing My Religion", "Everybody Hurts", "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" and "The One I Love". Among their most important albums are "Automatic for the People" (1992) and "Monster" (1994).
