One More Second Lyrics

It was all too perfect
Like it was meant to be
A cosmic joke
Wasn't lost on me
My man was carrying
A heavy load
I bought the gun
Outa' Knowlesville Road

Courage was building
As the drinks were poured
A chance like this
Couldn't be ignored

Didn't take no thinkin'
I just knew
I was gonna do
What i had to do

One more second
Is all it would of took
Another thought
A closer look

I finally cracked
My blood ran cold
One more second
Might of saved my soul

In my pocket
It weighed a thousand pounds
I could hardly move
It was dragging me down

When i finally saw you
Sittin' across the hall
In less than a heartbeat
It weighed nothing at all
Holding cold steel
I measured my pain
My mind was spinning
Like a hurricane

Was i losing my nerve
Was i starting to freeze
Somehow i found the trigger
And i gave it a squeeze

One more second
Is all it would of took
Another thought
A closer look

I finally cracked
My blood ran cold
One more second
Might of saved my soul
Watched the bullet
Leave the gun
Carve its trail
What have i done

I saw it spinning
Winding its way
Saw myselft heading
Towards reckoning day

I fell to my knees
I screamed your name
I begged forgiveness
But i begged in vain

In half a moment
Everything had gone black
The edge of that instant
I want it back

One more second
Is all it would of took
Another thought
A closer look

I finally cracked
My blood ran cold
One more second
Might of saved my soul
Might of saved my soul
