Second Chance
by Calvin Becker

---

Will I measure up?
Pass the test?
Will I be better than the rest?

Be a better lover?
A better friend?
Or will I make the same mistakes?
Over and over and over and over again

I'm just looking for a second chance
A second chance to show you who I am
But a second chance ain't so easy to find
It's the last thing you look for
In the life that you left behind

Have you ever seen a lonely fool get lost?
Stuck chasing shadows at any cost
Like a helium balloon cut from its string
Looking up you see them
Drifting, drifting, drifting, drifting out on the wing

I'm just looking for a second chance
A second chance to show you who I am
But a second chance ain't so easy to find
It's the last thing you look for
In the life that you left behind

Gravity always gets me down
I feel like I'm falling
But I never hit the ground

When I look at myself
I'm not who I wanted to be
I'm still out here waiting for you to rescue me

I'm just looking for a second chance
A second chance to show you who I am
But a second chance ain't so easy to find
It's the last thing you look for
In the life that you left behind

I'm just looking for a second chance
A second chance to show you who I am
But a second chance ain't so easy to find
It's the last thing you look for
In the life that you left behind
