Steve Poltz - Ten Chances lyrics

I only had one minute Left on my calling card I was halfway around the world And it was raining, really hard I only had a couple of aspirin And a half a can of beer So I swallowed it down for courage But it was still pretty hard to hear 'Cause I only had three words That I wanted to tell you But it would be easier if you were here And I could smell ya Words are fallin' out, I know They drift, they pa**, they melt like snow And I know I may be a flake I scrape my knees and make mistakes I may lose but mostly win Sometimes I get soaked in sin But I fall right back into your arms again So I ordered four pints of Guinness And I set 'em on a trunk Had a long conversation With a hopeless drunk 'Cause I only had five tickets And six new friends And one of 'em had a hissy fit And drove off with Mercedes Benz Words are fallin' out, I know They drift, they pa**, they melt like snow I know I may be a flake I scrape my knees and make mistakes I may lose but mostly win Sometimes I get soaked in sin But I fall right back into your arms again So we played seven-card stud And I had a royal flush And I took out your picture and I started to blush 'Cause I only had eight lives Most cats got nine So I skipped out on bungee jumping, just this time 'Cause I only had ten chances to say I love you Words are fallin' out, I know They drift, they pa**, they melt like snow I know I may be a flake I scrape my knees and make mistakes I may lose but mostly win Sometimes I get drenched in sin But I fall right back into your arms again I collapse into your loving arms again I fall right back into your arms again
