Second Chance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Oooooh, oooooh)
When you flew out of the nest
You made a mistake,
Flew all the way back.
When you got back to your den, one minute too late, was already wrecked.
I... I...
It's a fraction of the whole, but it's so hard to control.
I... I...
Get this straight.
You can't can't count on a second chance
The second chance will never be found.
You can't can't count on a second try
The second try will never come 'round.
(Oooooh, ooooh)
You stick to what you knew before
Don't know what you like
Just made up your mind.
The picture still hangs on the wall
From back in the day
When you had it all.
I... I...
It's a fraction of the whole, but it's so hard to control.
I... I...
Get this straight.
You can't can't count on a second chance
The second chance will never be found.
You can't can't count on a second try
The second try will never come 'round.
You can't can't count on a second chance
The second chance will never be found.
You can't count count on a second try
The second try is such a comedown.
I... I...
It's a fraction of the whole, but it's so hard to control.
I... I...
Get this straight.
You can't can't count on a second chance
The second chance will never be found.
You can't can't count on a second try
The second try will never come 'round.
You can't can't count on a second chance
The second chance will never be found.
You can't count count on a second try
The second try is such a comedown.
(Oooooh, ooooh)
