I need a stab at redemption
I need a break to see me through
I need the chance to make a difference
I need another shot, babe, at you
It’s been an incremental, its been a long, inevitable slide
That has led far away from the me I once had in sight
It’s been a gradual decline, its been a slow, ever downward fall
Toward a crushing comfort that safely sets desire beyond recall
I need a stab at redemption
I need a break, a break to see me through
I need the chance to make a difference
I need another shot, another shot babe, at you
All those ragged thoughts, and all those whispering doubts
That fill up the void between and entice when the lights go out
All those dark currents swirling in my head when should sleep
Driving me to give away everything I should probably keep
I need a stab at redemption
I need a break to see me through
I need the chance to make a difference
I need another shot, babe, at you
I need a stab at redemption
I need a break to see me through
I need a chance to make a difference
I need another shot, babe, at you
