one chance to show your face
that's one shot, all you get
pass by your one good thing
lift your head back shoot and chase
never hear you laugh like that, so full
not since you were nine

unsettled, severing always severing old ties
one last good-bye may last the rest of your life

learn your restricted ropes
paint a cross on your left hand
one good thing signed away and with it your only hope
attention focused on today
so quiet slip behind my back

unsettled, severing always severing dead ties
one last good-bye may last the rest of your life

one-way trip can work both ways
and loose ends kept untied make better friends
the things you buy may someday leave you
can you say full ride? i can still see you around. [4x]
