Gimme a Chance - Oedipus

«Never again,» is what you said, just before you lost your head.

Threw all the plates at the wall, then you ran on off to bed.

But your mine, and I’m yours, even when your slamming doors.

Gimme a chance to explain, 'cause you’ve got this all misread.

Gimme a chance to make it up to you.

Gimme a chance to talk the whole thing through.

Gimme a chance to make the same mistake, and I will pay for everything you

break.

Give us a chance to get past heated words and shattered glass.

Yell through the walls, if it makes you feel good, 'cause the anger never lasts.

And I’m here, if you’re here, even if we’re keeping clear.

Open the door, I want more, 'cause we’re taking out the trash.

Gimme a chance to make it up to you.

Gimme a chance to talk the whole thing through.

Gimme a chance to make the same mistake, and I will pay for everything you

break.

It’s alright.

Tell your friends we never fight.

Scratch out my eyes in all your photographs if it will help you sleep tonight.

And if you lock the bedroom door, I’ll crash out on the bathroom floor,

a hopeless, thoughtless, serial masochist, sitting on the sidelines,

why don’t you just…

Gimme a chance to make it up to you.

Gimme a chance to talk the whole thing through.

Gimme a chance to make the same mistake, and I will pay for everything you

break.

«Never again,» is what you said, just before you lost your head.

Threw all the plates at the wall, then you ran on off to bed.

Gimme a chance to make it up to you.

Gimme a chance to talk the whole thing through.

Gimme a chance to make the same mistake, and I will pay for everything you

break.
