Lyrics

How Many Chances

Take my hand.
You know who I am.
You've looked deep enough to reveal my secret plan.
Give me your true love and I will be your man.

Let it grow.
Let your heart glow.
Let it melt all I think I know into my soul.
Let us be reborn into a love we've never known.

CHORUS
How many chances will we have to have it all?
How many times will we jump off before we fall?
Maybe hearts are never broken, maybe they're just opened up
to let new seeds of love abide and grow into the night.

Yeah, I know, you've heard it all before.
Give a man everything you have,
and he's standin', demandin' more.
So you play the game to win, to be the first one to the door.

But I know you see, it's love that sets you free.
But you're afraid I'll kill it off with narcissistic needs.
I say I'm ready for a higher love, you stir my deepest dreams.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

We don't know how our lives will go,
but we can promise we will love through fire and snow.
Memories of games we've played with love
will tend our coals.

Take your time, study every line,
defend your heart with ghosts that may forever haunt your mind.
I'm no one of your ghosts, lady.
Let your heart know mine.

REPEAT CHORUS

FINAL CHORUS
Maybe our hearts were never broken,
maybe they were just opened up
to let new seeds of love abide
and grow into the light.
