Take A Risk

Im in love with the boy that sits in the back seat
With the sky blue eyes and a handle on his dream
He has a hard time wearing his heart on his sleeve
But my friends all say he's got a crush on me

But I can never be sure with things like that
Im a little bit afraid of slipping off the track
'Cause if I lose my pride I can never get it back...

But someone once told me
"You better listen closely, 'cause...:

Sometimes it's worth the climb
It's okay to make mistakes
Sometimes you might fall down
But that's just a chance you gotta take...
It's okay to be scared, a little unprepared
But you need to say what you're thinking, 'cause this could be it
Take a risk, take a risk"

He tells me one day that he's in love with someone
My heart sinks a little but I let him go on
He says she's a beautiful girl who loves to have fun
And he's thinking that she just might be the one

So I give him a smile and tell him that's great
While Im thinking to myself that I was too late
And as he asks me for advice I pretend Im okay
So I gather up all my strength, smile, and say:

"Sometimes it's worth the climb
It's okay to make mistakes
Sometimes you might fall down
But that's just a chance you gotta take...
It's okay to be scared, a little unprepared
But you need to say what you're thinking, 'cause this could be it
Take a risk, take a risk"

He promises me that he'll take my advice
That's when he takes me by the hand and takes me by surprise
He says "Im taking a risk here" with a simple smile
I lean in, and kiss him, and say "so am I"

Because:

Sometimes it's worth the climb
It's okay to make mistakes
Sometimes you might fall down
But that's just a chance you gotta take...
It's okay to be scared, a little unprepared
But you need to say what you're thinking, 'cause this could be it
Take a risk, take a risk

Sometimes it's worth the climb
It's okay to make mistakes
Sometimes you might fall down
But that's just a chance you gotta take...
It's okay to be scared, a little unprepared
But you need to say what you're thinking, 'cause this could be it
Take a risk, take a risk

Just take a risk, take a risk, take a risk
Because this could be it
This could be it
Take a risk
