Second Chances
Shades Apart
Eyewitness (1999)

I will watch the sky- streetlights dimly lit
from far away I recognize- her silhouette with someone else
the temperature outside- thaws me and frees up the memory of everything so far behind

Second Chances - still waiting
Second Chance is still waiting there for me

I count down the miles- headlights hypnotize
from far away I realize- how she once believed in me
I let it slip right by
scared of facing insecurities I locked away so far inside

Second Chances - still waiting
Second Chance is still waiting there for me

I have memorized- all the things she said
and I rehearse it line by line- syllables of falling breath
the static on the line
loneliness as open as the air between the highway and the sky

Second Chances - still waiting
Second Chance is still waiting there for me
