Story Behind the Song
I wrote the music first, and then the lyrics... which, hard as it may be to believe, weren't written with any great amount of effort. It's pretty much stream of consciousness on this baby. Hopefully it's entertaining, if nothing else!
Lyrics
One More Chance

Here I am, I’m watching you from afar,
Enjoying every moment apart,
Oops, I’m lying, I really didn’t mean what I said,
That time, and maybe once before,
Oh please, let me see what you look like naked,
That would be fun,
Cause I can see that you are sweet,
Even from half a million feet from me,
Oh won’t you let me love you baby?
Cause I just don’t believe it, the things you say,
I don’t believe it, please make it go away,
I don’t believe you are going to stay,
Oh please, oh please give me one more chance.
It’s game 7 of the Stanley Cup tonight,
And without you it’s not quite enough,
Oops, I’m lying, I really didn’t mean what I said,
That time, and maybe twice before.
Oh please, let me see you inside my covers,
Holding me tight,
Cause whether hockey is the sport of kings,
I’d gladly give it all away,
If you would just charge me two minutes for holding,
Holding you.
I just don’t believe it, these things I say,
I don’t believe it, I should be locked away,
I don’t believe I can tell the truth,
Oh please, oh please give me one more chance,
Oh please, give me back my pants,
Oh please, give me one more…
One More Chance
Chance, to find out that you love me,
To say that you forgive me,
For being such a liar, a loser.
Here I am, still watching you from afar,
With an old pair of binoculars,
I ain’t lying, I’m really that hung up on you,
And it’s even a bit dangerous, and illegal,
Don’t let me see you walking naked with some other guy,
Cause though I’m doing things I shouldn’t do,
Well that’s ok for me to do,
Cause you won’t let me love you, love you girl…
I just don’t believe it, these things I say,
I don’t believe it, I should be locked away,
I don't believe I can tell the truth,
Oh please, oh please give me one more chance,
Oh please give me back my pants,
Oh please give me one more chance.
