Lyrics

At the Mercy of the Moment

After crossing every single T and dotting every eye
After mapping every moment, every detail quantified
When you were sure that you were ready
And you knew you couldn’t miss
Didn’t it all come down to this
Are the planets lined up safe and true
And do the stars smile on you

It’s for sure, but the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, we’re at the mercy of the moment
It’d for sure, y’know, the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, and all we know is that we don’t know

So, I’m gonna try to keep things fluid, going with the flow
Hanging on to my convictions till it’s time to let ‘em go
‘Cause I know the rules are always changing, that much stays the same
So I will play the game, everybody plays the game
Oh, and all the decisions I’ll be making
They're gonna come right down to bending or breaking

It’s for sure, ‘cause the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, we’re at the mercy of the moment
It’d for sure, y’know, the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, and all we know is that we don’t know

What lies around the corner, what waits behind the door
We’re never gonna know, never gonna know for sure
And am I feeling lucky, do I burn this bridge before I rise to dance
You’ve got to take the chance, got to take the chance, yeah

It’s for sure, y’know, the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, we’re at the mercy of the moment
It’d for sure, y’know, the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, and all we ever gonna know is that we don’t know
It’s for sure, y’know, the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, we’re always at the mercy of the moment
It’d for sure, y’know, the situation is what the situation is
That nothing’s sure, and we won’t ever know
