If I Get the Chance versuri

Versuri Jack Savoretti – If I Get the Chance lyrics

My feelings never feel the same
about how my actions talk too loud
My story’s written in my name,
and it’s the only thing of which I’m truly proud

I never know what to say
when I should say no,
when the devil asked me to dance
Even though I take you with me everywhere I go,
I know I’ll take too much if I get the chance
I’ll always take too much if I get the chance

I’ve seen mercy run a mile
when my evil eye walks into a room
My life makes sense when you smile,
death confuses me when it comes too soon

I never know where to go
when I should go home
It’s a dirty romance,
trying to clean my act up all on my own
I know I’ll mess this up if I get the chance
I always mess things up if I get the chance

My voice breaks every time I say your name
My heart aches every day from the weight of all my shame,
oh such a shame

They say true lovers die for love
and every mountain will be washed up by the sea
I’ve never felt the fear of God,
but I’m afraid the devil’s always here with me

I never know who to be,
I just want to be with you
With these lives in our hand,
how I wish the lies I told you were true
I’ll make it up to you if I get the chance
I’ll make it up to you if I get the chance
Now I know what to do, give me one more chance
