Originally written as a bit of a sarcastic dig (you know, funny-not-funny), the song spiraled into something far more raw and real, capturing the moment when you realise you were never really in the race, let alone close to the finish line. Think: mixed signals, emotional whiplash, and a side of WTF just happened.
This is cinematic noir-pop at its most intimate. A track to cry to, scream to, or dramatically stare out the car window to. Your call.
With never stood a chance, Alexis continues to cement her place as one of Australia’s most emotionally articulate indie voices, proving that when it comes to heartbreak, she doesn’t just write songs… she writes scenes.

Lyrics:
Mmm
Remember how it started?
With lakeside walks and your pretty face
Do you ever think about it?
More at play than you’d ever say
Mmm
Remember how it started?
With lakeside walks and your pretty face
Do you ever think about it?
More at play than you’d ever say
You say you want me (love me)
But you can’t hold me
You say you want me (love me)
But you, never stood a chance
But you can’t hold me
You say you want me (love me)
But you, never stood a chance
Mmm
Do you think this is what I wanted?
Say, you love my fire but you dim my flame
Do you ever stop to question?
Why, you need me strong, just not stronger than you?
You say you want me (love me)
But you can’t hold me
You say you need me
But you want it on your on terms
You say you want me (love me)
I hear you call my name
You say you want this
But it never stood a chance
You say you want me (love me)
But you never stood a chance
Do you think this is what I wanted?
Say, you love my fire but you dim my flame
Do you ever stop to question?
Why, you need me strong, just not stronger than you?
You say you want me (love me)
But you can’t hold me
You say you need me
But you want it on your on terms
You say you want me (love me)
I hear you call my name
You say you want this
But it never stood a chance
You say you want me (love me)
But you never stood a chance
Fast-forward vows and picture frames
How quick you moved on, you changed her name
How quick you moved on, you changed her name
You say you want me (love me)
But you can’t hold me
You say you need me
But you want it on your on terms
You say you want me (love me)
I hear you call my name
You say you want this
But it never stood a chance
You say you want me (love me)
You can’t hold me
I hear you calling
But we never stood a chance
But you can’t hold me
You say you need me
But you want it on your on terms
You say you want me (love me)
I hear you call my name
You say you want this
But it never stood a chance
You say you want me (love me)
You can’t hold me
I hear you calling
But we never stood a chance
