Missed out on all the simple concepts,
Like how to listen to your conscience.
Now you making up for the fact that
All your talent, is missing something again.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.

I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

Broke down to curb sides and bar stools,
You can spin it anyway you want to.
But you're making up for the fact that
All your talent, is missing something again.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.

I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

[x4]
When the time is right, when the time is right,
I'm taking back what's mine.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.

I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.

I could be your center of attention,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
One word could end it all.

I could be your savior in a second,
But I bet my chances are slim.
Everybody's giving up (everybody's giving up),
Sweet Jesus carry me.
