One Chance

Can't you hear?
Can't you hear my heart screaming?
For you. Not him. You.
Can't you see that when I see you I'm beaming?

I can't spell it out
Or just spit it out for you
It's never that simple
to realize it's us two

If you don't see it
then it can't work
we miss out
and go with another skank and jerk

Didn't I tell you?
Between the stutters and stammer
that when I see you,
my heart feels like a hammer

It'll never be the same
but don't we own ourselves the chance
to see if we,
are more than just a lovesick glance?

Let's stop running
constantly around
the same situations and feelings
and realize we're love bound

I don't know what else to say
I'm tired of all this talk
Lets take each other's hand
and walk
