One More Second

It was all too perfect Like it was meant to be A cosmic joke Wasn't lost on me My man was carrying A heavy load I bought the gun Outa' Knowlesville Road Courage was building As the drinks were poured A chance like this Couldn't be ignored Didn't take no thinkin' I just knew I was gonna do What i had to do One more second Is all it would of took Another thought A closer look I finally cracked My blood ran cold One more second Might've saved my soul In my pocket It weighed a thousand pounds I could hardly move It was dragging me down When i finally saw you Sittin' across the hall In less than a heartbeat It weighed nothing at all Holding cold steel I measured my pain My mind was spinning Like a hurricane Was i losing my nerve Was i starting to freeze Somehow i found the trigger And i gave it a squeeze One more second Is all it would of took Another thought A closer look I finally cracked My blood ran cold One more second Might've saved my soul Watched the bullet Leave the gun Carve its trail What have i done I saw it spinning Winding its way Saw myselft heading Towards reckoning day I fell to my knees I screamed your name I begged forgiveness But i begged in vain In half a moment Everything had gone black The edge of that instant I want it back One more second Is all it would of took Another thought A closer look I finally cracked My blood ran cold One more second Might've saved my soul One more second Might've saved my soul
