Forgive me,   I didn't give you the benefit   You gave me no reason not to believe you   Well I don't and I don't know why   Why I did what I did   Something in that must have moved me   I tried real hard to figure it out   Tried so hard   In the meantime I wear myself out   but I don't let down my guard.      Give me one reason why I shouldnt be riding the brakes   and I'll lift try to turn    try to take your pace   But don't go rockin on my ignition   if I got nine lives and eight of my cards are gone   I've got no time left to be righting my wrongs   so where's the Ace   cause I'm not listening      It's funny, how my past seems to over come   what could have been perfect.   But I see it all through a (cloudy sky?)   I can't say there won't be regrets   cause you never rehearse it   it just finds a way to tunnel on out   some stranger way   before you know it, your dead in doubt   you've lost, before you played      Give me one reason why I shouldnt be riding the brakes   and I'll lift try to turn    try to take your pace   But don't go rockin on my ignition   if I got nine lives and eight of my cards are gone   I've got no time left to be righting my wrongs   so where's the Ace   cause I'm not listening   I'm not listening, no no.      And if you see it there to hold on out to later    (if you lift this) one favor...      Just give me one reason    why I shouldn't be riding the brakes.    and I'll lift try to turn    try to take your pace   But don't go rockin on my ignition   if I got nine lives and eight of my cards are gone   I've got no time left to be righting my wrongs   so where's the Ace   cause I'm not listening
