God, give me one shot and I’ll break right through
I am starting to be brand new
Rome is burning you can taste the embers
I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
My Saint was silence rapping on the door
Grown up defiant wanting so much more
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
Give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
Walk with millions, a delicate few
So sad how loneliness just follows you
New York City streets and avenues
Cut the concrete they march through
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
Give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
I don't want to be just a passerby
Stand in line wrapped around the world
I don't want to be just a parasite
Holding on tight
Holding on tight
I got this feeling and it's down in my bones
I got this feeling and it's burning up my soul
I got to get just one shot, baby one more day
Got to give me one shot today
I got this feeling just give me one day
I am starting to be brand new
I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
My Saint was silence rapping on the door
Grown up defiant wanting so much more
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
So sad how loneliness just follows you
New York City streets and avenues
Cut the concrete they march through
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say
(Starting over)
Me brand new, say I say
One shot at my life today
I don't want to be a stranger
Stand in line wrapped around the world
I don't want to be just a parasite
Holding on tight
Holding on tight
I got this feeling and it's burning up my soul
I got to get just one shot, baby one more day
Got to give me one shot today
I got this feeling just give me one day

basically its word for word... marc is realizing that he has a new day in front of him to start his life over and keep it in check
"god give me one shot and I'll break right through, I am starting to be brand new." opening line just says everything about the song as in we are all given one shot which is life and he intends to live it to the fullest.
if life gets stale its never too late to reinvent yourself
