I’ve hung around too many open bars, Took a pre game a little too far- Looking for one more shot. A shot through my own foot.   Shot to pieces- shocked. Tell me, is it a shot in the dark, to ask for your heart, one more time? All the shots I’ve shot before cinged my insides, Leaving me warm, For a time. But when I drink you in, I burn in all the ways I searched for at the bottom of the bottle. I’m sorry I forgot, loves a long shot, Not, For the short sighted. No quick fix, But I’d rather shoot the **** Than shoot the shot that landed me here in the first place. With a birds eye view, I’d rather be at home with you. But a birds eye shot has filleted my insides, Openly sifting for all the things I despise, about myself, to excavate and place on display as a target on my back, And I’m asking you to take the long shot, Across the chasm I created. All I’m looking for, Is one more shot.

One more shot
I’ve hung around too many open bars, Took a pre game a little too far- Looking for one more shot. A shot through my own foot.   Shot to pieces- shocked. Tell me, is it a shot in the dark, to ask for your heart, one more time? All the shots I’ve shot before cinged my insides, Leaving me warm, For a time. But when I drink you in, I burn in all the ways I searched for at the bottom of the bottle. I’m sorry I forgot, loves a long shot, Not, For the short sighted. No quick fix, But I’d rather shoot the **** Than shoot the shot that landed me here in the first place. With a birds eye view, I’d rather be at home with you. But a birds eye shot has filleted my insides, Openly sifting for all the things I despise, about myself, to excavate and place on display as a target on my back, And I’m asking you to take the long shot, Across the chasm I created. All I’m looking for, Is one more shot.
