Don't you give up, don't allow disaster
Don't you give up, don't you let her win
We're talking about a "forever after"
Don't you give up, don't you dare give in
Don't you give up, don't you dare give in

Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Doesn't it seem such a chance to take?
Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Why does it feel like a big mistake?

Please understand and hear what I'm saying
The time is now and you don't have long
She could be oceans away tomorrow
So soon your chance will have come and gone
So soon your chance will have come and gone

Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Doesn't it seem such a chance to take?
Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Why does it feel like a big mistake?

The tight-wire's strung and you're out in the middle
All eyes upon you, no net below
Inches to go and you're almost home free
Feel the wires swinging to and fro
Feel the wires swinging to and fro

Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Doesn't it seem such a chance to take?
Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Why does it feel like it would be a damn shame?
Would be forever if it meant a day
How stoically I exclaim
As she turns from me and walks away

The light in her eyes, explanation escapes you
Longing to please and not feel alone
And she doesn't know it but really she loves you
Some day so soon you're gonna make it home
Some day so soon you're gonna make it home

Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Doesn't it seem such a chance to take?
Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Why does it feel like a big mistake?

Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Doesn't it seem such a chance to take?
Doesn't it seem most precarious?
Why does it feel like a big mistake?

When you absolutly need to hear a fat guy play harmonica like a chicken accept no substitutes.

This melody sounds remarkably like an old Carrie Newcomer song.

Yeah, I agree with you and lordcruloze. Never liked John Popper's voice or his harmonica playing, which always seemed to consist of playing as quickly and shrilly as possible. Someone give that man some lessons. BT was never as bad as that other mid-90s staple, Hootie and the Blowfish, though.

blues traveler is one of the greatest bands of the last 15 years. Stop thinking about image. In this case, "They're a band that had a few pop hits" and listen to the music. That's crap - They are awesome!

I\'ve always loved the positive message Blues Traveler carried with their songs. This is a great example. Love this song...

Ditto on that Paradise. You are not crazy Robert W. Very similar vocals on the quiet passages.

Sounds like Cat Stevens? Hmmm I don\'t think so, but I think he sounds like Adam Durtiz of Counting Crows...
