Seconds
As i look back on my life with quiet affection
The paths ive crossed in a new direction
The goals ive achieved the ladders ive climbed
The parties ive enjoyed as the new years chimed
The women ive loved theres been so many
My very first wage earning my very first penny
And as i grew up and i settled down
I lived life to the full never wearing a frown
The day i got married to my beautiful wife
It got better and better what a wonderful life
Then came the children could it be more fulfilling
Yeah we had some
hard times but got through them with gods willing
So as i sum up and make sense of it all
Me and my family are having a ball
But.......somethings not clicking it doesnt feel quite right
What am i doing on this bridge tonight ?
And then it all floods back to when things started going bad
The moment i stopped taking drugs as a fad
The more tracklines appeared the harder it was to stop
I remember it all now im freefalling in mid drop
All the good times recounted im starting to lose track
My wife my kids my life flashback
The proudest day of my life giving away my daughter
Ive got seconds to live now i can see the water
