The Ghost of a Chance
A darkened street
It's a ghost of a chance
She did love him once
Now he's back in town
It's been a while
It's all too familiar
He's here, so is she
The love is still there
The ghost of a chance
For he sees a woman
The fire is burning
And when it does
'Cause a fragile heart
They know this won't work
And the ghost of a chance
Yet what is life
So screw that heart
And when their song comes on
In a dead end town
He calls her name
And her heart crashes down
That they'd meet here tonight
But they're both so alone
And loving seems right
When he first called her name
But he broke her heart
And it isn't the same
On this darkened street
It's a dead-end love
She chanced to meet
But not long enough
For he takes her hand
And she melts at his touch
The way that she's feeling
And she can't pull away
From this chance she is seeing
And it's only one dance
So they play with fate
And the ghost of a chance
It'll never die away
Just smolder gently
'Till they chance a new day
Watches it all
And wonders who it is
That's going to fall
As beautiful as before
While she sees a man
That she just can't ignore
Once again, no doubt
But eventually that fire
Will nearly burn out
The ashes will fly
For both their spirits
Are bound to die
That's been broken before
Can only take so much
'Till it can take no more
For both of their hearts
So they're going to end it
Before it even starts
Lets out a sigh
'Cause nobody's spirit
Is going to die
Without chancing death
When it's taken away
In a single breath
And screw the past
'Cause they have a chance
To make love last
They're going to dance
'Cause life is living
For the ghost of a chance
