I had my chance and I let it go (x2)
Well if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back (x2)
Sometimes I'm too careful
I walk just like I'm carrying a handgreande
It's going tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Ticking ticking ticking in my hand
It's going tick tick tick tick ticking in my hand
Tick tick ticking in my hand
And if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back
Yea if I ever have myself another chance like that

It's going tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
Ticking ticking ticking in my hand
Tick tick ticking in my hand
And if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back
Yea if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm going to grab it and I won't look back (x2)
