One Second Chance

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 the 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 judgment-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
But I 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
