The Last Chance

Somewhere in the desert is a telegraph pole

Holding up a telephone line full of copper wires

With your voice and mine and a profound silence

Trying to build a word-bridge between our islands

I’d like to hold you but like I told you it’s hard

To look beyond tomorrow with this wounded heart

Like a lion tamer who got mauled by his favourite

This memory’s still painful, time won’t erase it

And you’ve been through the same shit, ain’t this,

Strange how, life shifts,

When you least expect it, Cupid beckons

And love can live or die in a second

So I’ll say it now or forever wonder if, if,

Would our grip have slipped or was this the real shit?

I pour some more change into the payphone

If you got something that you gotta say please say so

The last chance, this’ll be the last time

this’ll ever feel like this so don’t miss

he last chance, this’ll be the last time

this’ll ever feel like this so don’t miss

I met her when I wasn’t in a good state

Sore sight couldn’t sleep right toss and turning all night

You see I’ve never been a ladies man so wasn’t like

I whispered softly in her ear yo baby let me take your hand

I try to play it cool though inside I’m inanimate

Frozen up impossible to speak like a real candidate

Yeah I’m an MC they all call me wordsmith

But somehow the context changed and all the words miss

But whose to say you’re not my life’s purpose, It’s Urth

at your service, for once there’s no question I’m certain

But little does it translate, until the dam breaks

I’ve got no rabbit in my hat yeah I’m not Mandrake

I haven’t got a trick, and no pick-up line

Give me a sign and I’ll repay it in kind

Multiply it a by a dozen and we can call it a day

And if you were inside my arms then this is what I’d say

The last chance, this will be the last time

this will ever feel like this so don’t miss

The last chance, this will be the last time

this will ever feel like this so don’t miss

I would’ve told you I was inspired, in awe

Enthralled captivated by the way you bring

Your self to the task, food for the starved, love

For the heart, talking deeply, still sharing laughs

And if I’m half what you are well I’m content

When I have a couple kids I hope to pass on your sense

And damn, I’ve seen the way that life can slip through the fingers

Death might interrupt but the love will still linger

Batla:

My friend said that losing love is like a death

But then love lingers long after the final breath

And these sentiments I’m thinking of in retrospect

Got me really wishing that you hadn’t left us yet

And if I’d known of what you were gonna do what could I say?

A magic phrase or two which would’ve made you stay?

In the storm cloud of your life you were the silver lining

And in each one of our hearts your star is still shining

Resolve it all before you sleep man

This could be your last chance

It’s water underneath the bridge man

This could be your last chance

Because no one lives forever man

This could be your last chance

It’s either do it or regret it and

The last chance, this’ll be the last time

This’ll ever feel like this so don’t miss
