I should never have tagged the principal's car And surely not signed my name How I hated this place when I first arrived But now I'm glad I came Found out that I'm not alone People make mistakes Make amends, find new friends One second chance is all it takes Yeah One second chance is all it takes He stole a backpack, a bike and a boat Just wanted some souvenirs She sold all her mom's shoes Ditched the seventh grade He pierced his parakeet's ears What they did was not so bad Did I mention a car full of snakes? Realign, you'll be fine One second chance is all it takes Yeah One second chance is all it takes Whatever happened, we'll understand Here we're judgement-free I just can't tell my tale Your secret's safe with me, safe with me Girl, you need a hand or a shoulder, a knee Something to help you feel strong I'm not gonna talk, see these lips are sealed Now everyone run along You are not a rotten kid And I've made some humongous mistakes Yeah I got through, you can too One second chance is all it takes Yeah One second chance Is all it takes
