The Last Chance Songtext
von Urthboy

Somewhere in the desert is a telegraph pole
Holdin′ up a telephone line full of copper wires
With your voice and mine and a profound silence
Tryna build a word bridge between our islands
I'd like to hold you, but like I told you, it′s hard
To look beyond tomorrow with this wounded heart
Like a lion tamer who got mauled by his favourite
This memory's still painful, time won't erase it
You′ve been through the same shit
Ain′t this strange how life shifts?
When you least expect it, Cupid beckons
And love can live or die in a second
So I'll say it now or forever wonder if (If)
Would our grip have slipped or was this the real shit?
I pour some more change into the payphone
And if there′s something that you gotta say, please say so


The last chance
This'll be the last time this′ll ever feel like this, so don't miss
The last chance
This′ll be the last time this'll ever feel like this, so don't miss

I met her when I wasn′t in a good state, sore sight
Couldn′t sleep right, toss and turning all night
You see, I've never been a ladies man
So it wasn′t like I whispered softly in
Her ear, "Yo, baby, let me take your hand"
I try to play it cool, though inside I'm inanimate
Frozen up, impossible to play like a real candidate
Yeah, I′m an MC, they all call me "wordsmith"
But somehow the context change and all the words miss
Who's to say you′re not my life's purpose?
It's Earth at your service, for once there′s no questions, I′m certain
But little does it translate (Nah) until the dam breaks (Right)
I got no rabbit in my hat, yeah, I'm no Mandrake
I haven′t got a trick (Ha) and no pick-up line
Give me a sign and I'll repay it in kind
Multiply it by a dozen, we could call it a day
And if you were inside my arms, well, this is what I would say


The last chance
This′ll be the last time this'll ever feel like this, so don′t miss
The last chance
This'll be the last time this'll ever feel like this, so don′t miss
The last chance
This′ll be the last time this'll ever feel like this, so don′t miss
The last chance
This'll be the last time this′ll ever feel like this, so don't miss

I woulda told you I was inspired, in awe, enthralled
Captivated by the way you bring yourself
To the task, food for the staff, love for the heart
Talkin′ deeply, still sharin' laughs
And if I'm half what you are, well, I′m content
When I have a couple kids, I hope to pass on your scent
And damn, I′ve seen the way that life can slip through the fingers
Death might interrupt, but the love will still linger
My friend says that losin' love is like a death
But then love lingers long after the final breath
And these sentiments I′m thinkin' of in retrospect
Got me really wishin′ that you hadn't left us yet
And if I′d known what you were gonna
Do, what could I say? (Could I say?)
A magic phrase or two which would have made you stay?
In the storm cloud of your life, you were the silver lining
And in each one of our hearts, your star is still shining

Resolve it all before you sleep, man
This could be your last chance, this could be your last chance
It's water underneath the bridge, man
This could be your last chance, this could be your last chance
Because no one lives forever, man
This could be your last chance, this could be your last chance
It's either do it or regret it, man
This could be your

Last chance
This′ll be the last time this′ll ever feel like this, so don't miss
The last chance
This′ll be the last time this'll ever feel like this, so don′t miss
The last chance
This'll be the last time this′ll ever feel like this, so don't miss
The last chance
This'll be the last time this′ll ever feel like this, so don′t miss
