One more last chance

odds against me

fifty-fifty

but don’t bet against

come from behind victories

 

bunch of late bloomers

in a table vase

shakers and movers

glued to our seats

 

with a past kicking my ass

every chance is the last

thinking very slow

moving very fast

 

what I could do for you

what you could do for me

points that conclude

without even touching

 

I live inside your head

behind in the rent

next month’s already spent

one more last chance

◄ Save a bit of the mystery for me
