Second Chances - Cartel

All of my heroes sit up straight They stare at the ground They radiate Me, I'm mumbling in the kitchen for the sun to pay up Lonely is a ring on a cold coffee cup I'm some sick hound Digging for bones If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone My hands they were strangers lost in the night They're waving around in the dusty light I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess I'm a ghost in the garden Scaring the crows If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone I'm running from nothing, no thoughts in my mind Oh my heart was all black But I saw something shine Thought that part was yours, but it might just be mine I could share it with you, if you gave me the time I'm all bloody knuckles, longing for home If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone I'm a shot through the dark I'm a black sinkhole If it weren't for second chances, we'd all be alone

All I did today was wake up and watch TV Another wasted day But that's alright with me When shadows turn to clouds Good choices won't be made Until tomorrow comes But that's alright with me I will stand and wait until it's morning And I won't make it lying down I will close my eyes so I can't see you And I will have all my chances again I want all of my chances again And as the sky turns red The streetlights coming on I could stay up all night or go to bed Oh, neither's right or wrong Until tomorrow comes Until tomorrow comes I will stand and wait until it's morning And I won't make it lying down I will close my eyes so I can't see you And I will have all my chances again I want all of my chances again I will stand I will stand I will stand and wait until it's morning And I won't make it lying down I will close my eyes so I can't see you And I will have all my chances again I want all of my chances again

Today was gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realized what you not to do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now Backbeat the word is on the street That the fire in your heart is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt And I don't believe that anybody feels The way I do about you now And all the roads we have to walk along are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would Like to say to you But I don't know how So I said maybe You're gonna be the one who saves me? And after all You're my wonderwall Today was gonna be the day But they'll never throw it back to you By now you should've somehow Realized what you're not to do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now And all the roads we had to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you I don't know how So I said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me? And after all... You're my wonderwall So I said maybe You're gonna be the one who saves me? And after all... You're my wonderwall So I said maybe You're gonna be the one who saves me? And after all... You're my wonderwall Said maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me

Picking up the pieces (Picking up the pieces) To put them back together Staring at the faces (Staring at the faces) That hope for something better Wondering if I'll ever be the same Wondering if I'll ever feel good again [Chorus] But I'm still standing, holding on Stripped of all these chains you've put on Cause I'm still young Oh, I'm still free You haven't got the best of me Holding on to reason But caught up in the moment With nothing to belive in Cause everyone is broken Nothing will ever be the same No, nothing will ever feel good again [Chorus] But I'm still standing, holding on Stripped of all these chains you've put on Cause I'm still young You haven't got the best of me Now you're seeing all your bridges burned We're all waiting for it to be your turn With your fingers and your wires crossed Counting down the names of the lives you've cost Counting down the names of the lives you've cost Counting down the names of the lives you've cost Counting down the names of the lives you've cost... oh [Chorus] But I'm still standing, holding on Stripped of all these chains you've put on Cause I'm still young Oh, I'm still free You haven't got the best of me (the best of me) Yeah, I'm still standing, holding on Stripped of all these chains you've put on Cause I'm still young Oh, I'm still free You haven't got the best of me
