Chances Lyrics – Backstreet Boys
Chances Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Brian]
What if I never run into you?
What if you never smiled at me?
What if I had noticed you too?
And you never showed up where I happened to be
[Pre-Chorus: Nick]
What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
On a quiet night, what are the odds?
What's a guy like me doing in a place like this?
I could have just walked by, who would have thought?
[Chorus: Brian]
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?
[Verse 2: AJ]
What if I hadn't asked for your name?
And time hadn't stopped when you said it to me? Oh
Of all of the plans that I could have made
Of all of the nights that I couldn't sleep, oh
[Pre-Chorus: AJ & Nick]
What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?
In a crowded room, what are the odds?
(What's a guy like me doing in a place like this?)
Getting close to you, but here we are
[Chorus: Nick]
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Like two in a million, like once in a life
That I could have found you, put my arms around you
Like two in a million, like once in a life
What are the chances?
[Bridge: Howie & Kevin]
Is it love? Is it fate?
Who am I? Who's to say?
Don't know exactly what it means (Ooh, oh, yeah)
''Is it love? Is it fate?''
''Where it leads, who can say?''
''Maybe you and I were meant to be''
[Chorus: Nick & Brian]
What, what
What are the chances that we'd end up dancing?
Two in a million, once in a life
That I could have found yo
Put my arms around you (My arms around you)
Two in a million (It's like two in a million)
Once in a life, yeah (Woah)
What are the chances? (What are the chances?)
Two in a million, once in a life
What are the chances? (What are the chances?)
Two in a million, once in a life
[Outro: Brian]
What if I never run into you?
And what if you never smiled at me?
Chances Lyrics Explained
The lyrics of "Chances" by the Backstreet Boys revolves around the idea of serendipity and the unexpectedness of love. It explores the notion of what could have happened if certain chance encounters or decisions hadn't taken place, ultimately leading to the meeting and connection between two people. The lyrics reflect on the randomness of life and how sometimes, against all odds, two individuals find each other in a crowded room or a quiet night, leading to a special and rare connection.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Brian contemplates the idea of chance encounters. He wonders what would have happened if certain events hadn't unfolded - if they hadn't crossed paths or exchanged smiles. This sets the tone for the song, highlighting the unpredictability of life and the pivotal role that seemingly small moments can play in shaping our destinies.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nick's pre-chorus further emphasizes the unlikely nature of their meeting. He questions why someone like the girl he's encountered would be in such a place, and similarly, why he himself would be there. It underscores the randomness of the situation and the unexpectedness of finding someone special in an ordinary setting.
[Chorus]
The chorus focuses on the rarity of their connection. It likens their meeting to being "two in a million" or "once in a life." This phrase emphasizes just how improbable their relationship feels, as if the odds were stacked against them, yet they still found each other. It's a celebration of their unique bond amidst the vastness of the world.
[Verse 2]
AJ reflects on the significance of small actions and decisions. He ponders what might have happened if he hadn't asked for her name or if time hadn't seemed to stand still when she spoke. This verse delves deeper into the idea of missed opportunities and the importance of seizing the moment when it presents itself.
[Pre-Chorus]
The second pre-chorus mirrors the first but from AJ's perspective. It continues to highlight the unlikelihood of their encounter and the surprise of finding themselves drawn to each other despite the circumstances.
[Bridge]
The bridge delves into the philosophical questions surrounding love and fate. Howie and Kevin contemplate whether their connection is a result of fate or simply chance. They acknowledge that they may not fully understand the meaning behind their relationship, but they believe that perhaps they were meant to find each other.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reaffirms the rarity and significance of their bond. It emphasizes the idea that their connection is something extraordinary, akin to being "two in a million" or "once in a life." Despite the uncertainties and complexities of life, they found each other against all odds.
[Outro]
The outro revisits the initial questions posed in the first verse, reinforcing the theme of chance and the pivotal role it played in bringing them together. It circles back to the idea of what might have happened if their paths hadn't crossed, leaving the listener with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the unpredictability of love and destiny.
