Second Chance Ticket

{intimate felt piano intro,

slow sustained chords} Found your name in an old coat pocket Written

on paper, faded by time

9:40, Platform

7

The night you said "maybe next time"

I told myself I’d let it go

Folded it up, put it away But some doors don’t stay closed

When your heart won’t obey

And we’ve got a second chance ticket Torn at the edges,

but it still gets us there

No promises, no perfect words

Just me breathing the same air as you

Baby, is this our second chance ticket?

‘Cause I’ve been waiting all these years

For the train to bring you back to here

I saw you from across the platform

Same eyes, same way you tuck your hair

Both of us pretending we weren’t shaking

Both of us too scared to care

Five years of what-ifs

and silences

Five years of almosts in between

But tonight the world got quiet

And it felt like sixteen And we’ve got a second chance ticket

No map, no plan,

just trembling hands If this is the

last train

we’ll ever take I’m not letting go of you again Baby,

this is our second chance ticket So come on,

sit here next to me

Let’s see where the night

decides we’re meant to be

I don’t need forever,

not yet

I just need this moment

Your head on my shoulder

And time moving slow

Yeah, we’ve got a second chance ticket All the hurt we carried,

let it go

If love is a train that comes back around Then I’m glad

it brought you home

To me
