Get It Right

Deep is the water under my bridge, flowing
And short is the lifetime that I've lived, knowing
Messing up and starting over again
Maybe all the breaks and the young mistakes were supposed to carry me here
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I've let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
Looking for answers what have I missed, someone
I want to be so much better than this, in the long run
Stepping forward and falling backwards again
When I get the breaks will the young mistakes be the ones to carry me on
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I've let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
I know I'll get there, things will get better
Better with every day
And what lies behind me will not define me.
I tell myself nothing can stop me now
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
Lord knows I've let myself down too many times, many times
This time I gotta get it right gotta get it right now gotta get it right this time
My life is passing me by gotta take a deep breath, and get it right
