I wanted to do more

But life flows too fast

I’m running after you

But I’m always last


I’ve been missing my past

Take me back to the start

Do I deserve a second chance

Before the final dance?


I’ve got sixty years ahead of me

I’m not going to spend them worrying

I know how blessed I am

So I won’t be too concerned about my well-being


How do I place my joy in something

More stable than my opinion of me?

Do I deserve a second chance

Before the final dance?


Do I really deserve a second chance

Before the final dance?
