Verse 1

Step up to the plate to play the game

Save yourself and quit to play it safe

 The boy has got skill, but the girl's got notion

 He's smart enough, but he lacks devotion

 Your reasons rhyme, but your rhymes keep scheming

 And that's not enough so just keep on dreaming alone

And I know that you'll never make it on your own

Chorus

I know you'll never get it right

 You only take it so far then leave it all behind

So tonight I'm making up my mind

 Before we take this too far and leave it all behind

Verse 2

So rise up to the occasion

 'Cause you're all excuse with no explaination

 You've got minor details filling major gaps in your memory

 So just trace your footsteps back to where this all started

 Before you got yourself broken hearted

Now just keep your head down

 'Cause you'll never figure it out

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Yeah

 And I'll miss you when I'm gone, I'll sing you a sad song

 tonight

 And I'll miss you when I'm gone, I'll sing you a sad song

Whispering:

One more chance to get this right

One more chance to get it right

One more chance to get this right

 But you'll never get it right

(Repeat Chorus)
