Chance to Change

INTRO

VERSE
The White Horse closing time
He steps outside and the cold air reminds
Him of the time he tried
To leave this town behind

But he lost that fight
And he got dragged back inside
And he's been stranded on this island
For his whole his life

CHORUS
He sings to a street light
A sweet serenade
The words to an 80s song
That echo of better days
Back when
There was still a chance
To change

VERSE 2
He knows
She'll be
Asleep in front of the TV
and he hopes she dreams
and imagines better things
Cos when he walks in
She'll stare him.
Disappointed
Ask him where's he been
and What time is it?

CHORUS
He sings to a street light
A sweet serenade
The words to an 80s song
That echo of better days
Back when
There was still a chance
To change

VERSE 3
Beneath the underpass
The M6 ocean roars
He’s shipwrecked On an island
On this concrete shore
And she’s out there, somewhere
On the other side of the world
The girl who said Come with me
There’s nothing for you here
“Come with me
We can get away from here
We can go anywhere. And do anything
We can start again
Just come with me
Just come with me
Just
Come
With
Me!"

CHORUS
He sings to a street light
A sweet serenade
The words to an 80s song
That echo of better days

Back when
He still had a chance
To change

OUTRO
Back when
He still had a chance
To change
