Take a Last Chance on Me

Took a long drive, ended upon
an ocean-view watched the sunset
decided writing my heart once again to you
my last letter had much conviction
read carefully now this needed petition

From our limited conversation
you said your in love
thinking of marriage
your happiness is sound
yet skepticism in your voice reads rebound

does second best constitute
what you really miss
I've not forgotten, a few key
things you really need
two and three a roof and family unity
the first, love without hesitation

before you accept vows from another
grant me this extra measure
take a last chance on me
let me prove to you I'm true
let me be the inspiration you really need
take a last chance on me

over and over within my mind
decisions I've made
re-counting all wrongful actions
learning from elapsed time
corrected my crossed thinking
no longer mentally blind
today maturity lives strong
new direction, teaching, understanding

Past expressions are just reflections
views and opinions, everyone changes
we're no exceptions to the rule
judge me not by yesterday
for today I'm someone new
as I'm sure are you

maybe much time has passed
maybe he fills the void in some ways
maybe he's got good intentions
but because he cant replace
my crazy personality
you cant replace originality
maybe I shouldn't read things
as deeply as I always do
maybe I should get on with finishing this song and hope you'll come back too

can he make you laugh till you cry
can he make you cry with joy in your eyes
can he dance the night away
does he hold your hands in a guiding fashion
does he inspire you time after time

would he fight for your right
would he chase after a memory and stay dedicated to you
would he write his heart out
just to show he's true
would he try to keep you always by his side
would he worship you the way I do

before you accept vows from another
grant me this extra measure
take a last chance on me
let me prove to you I'm true
let me be the Inspiration you really need
take a last chance on me

One last chance is all I ask
one last chance
one last chance is all I'm asking for
take a last chance on me
