Second Chances
never recognizing the moments that will matter most
[a redlight run by a woman]
we put our faith in ouija boards, fate or fortune one letter at a time
[my brother in a coma, in intensive care]
like a thousand puzzle pieces that never fit to form a landscape
[by his bedside wanting just one word]
end up playing 52-pickup again and again with each others emotions
[on my knees praying]
a random spin on the board of Life where it's better to be lucky than good
[both of us, suddenly awake, decades later, a thousand miles apart]
an entire game of Scrabble where we both have only vowels
[still wanting just one word]
never recognizing the moments that might matter most
never recognizing the moments that will matter most
[a redlight run by a woman]
we put our faith in ouija boards, fate or fortune one letter at a time
[my brother in a coma, in intensive care]
like a thousand puzzle pieces that never fit to form a landscape
[by his bedside wanting just one word]
end up playing 52-pickup again and again with each others emotions
[on my knees praying]
a random spin on the board of Life where it's better to be lucky than good
[both of us, suddenly awake, decades later, a thousand miles apart]
an entire game of Scrabble where we both have only vowels
[still wanting just one word]
never recognizing the moments that might matter most
