"Chance Encounters" lyrics

So sick of being lonely, do you want to get to know me?
I'm a zero, I'm a weirdo, I'm a struggling superhero
But I'm a star in outer space
Ask any alien, they'll say I'm the real deal
Found each other in our worst ways, everything was going, gone
All the drugs we took for breakfast couldn't convince us nothing's wrong
Do you ever feel like nothing's real
Like The Truman Show or something way more miserable?

If we tell each other secrets, even the dark parts that don't glow
Maybe life could feel a little less alone

We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
No one's coming to save us from ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chance encounters

I felt sinister on the sidewalk, intrusive thoughts abound
I kind of felt like jumping into traffic downtown
It all blurs together, and it barely makes sense
We were sixteen once, we will never be again
How you listened, oh, my God
What a spiritual awakening
I listened, oh, my God
To the genius, you're self-training
Maybe things can never be the same, and that's okay

If we tell each other secrets, even the dark parts that don't glow
Maybe life could feel a little less alone

We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
No one's coming to save us from ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chance encounters

Chalk it up to fate or whatever
Blame it on a higher power
For this chance encounter
Maybe the right stars have aligned, we've crossed into a parallel life
From this chance encounter

We may never stand a chance, but we still gotta try
No one's coming to save us from ourselves tonight
Chance encounters
Chance encounters
