Second Chance - Mating Ritual

I wrote this song

A thousand times

Cause all the messes that I make are getting difficult to hide

I take my life

I box it up

I light a match and take a breath and watch the flames do what they want

When I was really young

My father taught me that a fire cleanses everything

A fresh set of your dreams

But now the smoke is filling up my lungs and I’m, I’m suffocating

I know what you did

I can’t believe you right now

You had a second chance you fucked it up again, oh no

I love what we had

But I don’t need another friend

I got a second chance to make it

I’m jumping off the ledge

I wish I knew

What people felt

I wish that I could hear what you do when I open up my mouth

I thought by now

I’d know who I am

But maybe growing up is realizing you’ll never understand

When I was 21I'd waste my nights getting drunk in a Tustin living room

My mattress on the floor

But now I need something stronger just to get me there

And I’m disintegrating

I know what you did

I can’t believe you right now

You had a second chance you fucked it up again oh no

I love what we had

But I don’t need another friend

I got a second chance to make it

I’m jumping off the ledge

This is my

This my last

This is my

This my chance

This is my last second chance to prove

This is my

This my last

This is my last second chance

This is my last second chance to prove

That I’m not you

That I’m not you

That I’m not you

Last second chance to prove

Last second chance to prove

That I’m not you

I know what you did

I can’t believe you right now

You had a second chance you fucked it up again, oh no

I love what we had

But I don’t need another friend

I got a second chance, to make it, I’m jumping off the ledge

I’m jumping off the ledge
