Structure + Lyrics 

Intro 

Verse 

one chance to show your face 
this one shot all you get 
pass by your one good thing 
lift your head back shoot and chase. 

Chorus 
never hear you laugh like that, so full. not since you were nine. 
unsettled, severing always severing old ties 
one last good-bye may last the rest of your life 

Verse 
learn your restricted ropes. 
paint a cross on your left hand. 
one good thing signed away 
and with it your only hope. 

Chorus 
attention focused on today. 
so quiet slip behind my back. 
unsettled, severing always severing dead ties 
one last good-bye may last the rest of your life 

Interlude 

one way trip can work both ways 
and loose ends kept untied make better friends 
the things you buy may someday leave you 

Outro (use verse chords) 
can you say full ride? 
i can still see you around.
