One shot

One shot is all you have in the life
If you mess up, then it's history
and you're doomed to regret for eternity
but what if I'm no good at facing pressure

There is so much that I want in life
does that make me selfish?
I want to be happy, I want to be successful, but most of all, to be loved
I want a husband, children, and a puppy

But, I feel as if I'm blowing all my chances
I try to keep smiling and never give up
but, lately everything keeps piling up to slow me down
and I respond by sleeping more, eating more, and smiling less

You have taken so much out of me
You have blown your one shot, but I'll give you another chance
then, maybe another
until you finally realize that I'm the one

Have you already realized that
you just haven't told me yet
Have you already thought that
You just haven't admitted it to yourself yet

We can build a future together
WE can learn to believe together as we build new dreams with our sand castles by the sea
I want you to be in my life forever, and I know you do, too

But, what if I lose heart
before we get our one shot together
I want to count the stars with you
until our eyes hurt, and our hearts become dizzy with love

I want to make new rules for our love, then set new boundaries
You are the only thing I want
and for you, I would swim to the end of the ocean and back again
what would you do for me?
