Verse 1
Calculate our chances, our chances
Sum up our differences that we'll get, that we'll get
Chorus 1
One in a million
One that can hope
Two in the run
We both have won
Verse 2
Rewind the record, it's distorted, it's all broken
Erase the markings, we'll forget, we'll forget
Chorus 2
We have grown up
We won't give up
We will drive
Past those odds
[Guitar Instrumental]
Bridge
Let the daisies fall beneath
They won't see
Let the birds chirp, its distinct
We can dream
Chorus 3
Calculate our chances, we can bend this time
We'll bounce around like it is ours, two can fight
One in a million, woah
One that can hope
Two in the run
We both have won
Outro
Calculate our chances, our chances
This song describes the optimism I had in my first relationship.
The first verse describes uncertainty about whether or not my partner and I would remain together due to our differences. Then, the chorus brings forth a sense of hope, as despite our differences, we knew we wanted to have a future together.
The second verse implies our history--the struggles we had gone through together and separately. All the moments of trouble were "markings" in our lives that we could move on from and forget.
There were several instances where we felt like other people were rooting for our "downfall." Therefore, the bridge motivates those people in our lives to continue saying whatever they want to--because, at the end of the day, we could still dream that we would make it together. When the chorus is repeated, it re-introduces the hook: "Calculate our chances" in a more positive and sureful way. In other words, it highlighted how there were no more doubts that we could make things work.
The song follows a girl who lost her sister. As she experiences the grief, she begins to forget what it's like to have had her sister with her.
She simultaneously reminisced on the good times they had together while being torn by reality.

However, I've been playing piano since my freshman year and picked up basic chords on my guitar during my sophomore year in High School. I fell in love with the ability to express my struggles through the power of sound and words that others may relate to. I strive to write music that subtly describes a mental obstacle, experience, or hidden optimism. I enjoy listening to melancholy music or pop-rock music including (but not limited to) Matt Maeson, Cian Ducrot, Lewis Capaldi, Noah Kahan, and Anson Seabra. [collapse]
