(Okay, okay!)
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn't think I would ever do it
Until I did it
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn't think I would ever do it
Until I did it
If it were yesterday, or any other day
I would've run away,
Playing dumb, I would've stayed away
If it were afternoon, or night or day
I would've run away, put things off
And stayed away until another day
It was my last attempt (last attempt)
It was my last defense (last defense)
I didn't think I would ever do it
Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it)
Sometimes you have to be
Stretched to the wire
Before you can untie your hands
Before you move
Sometimes the gun must be held to your head
When there's nothing left, when there's nothing left
You can go ahead (because)
It was my last attempt (my last attempt)
It was my last defense (my last defense)
I didn't think I would ever do it
Until I did it
Face the chair, firing squad
Without the heat to bring you fear
You never know what you can do
(Okay, keep it going, okay)
[Spoken]
So there's a way out of that corner you've painted yourself into,
And maybe you're just gonna have to dig that ditch a little bit deeper before you can get out of it.
Well you just gotta stand up, I mean if you sit down all your life, what are you gonna do?
I mean you're just gonna have to climb up right over yourself and get out of there.
I mean, that mess you're in? You just gonna have to get out of it. You're gonna have to decide you're gonna do it. You're gonna have to decide you wanna do it, and then you're just gonna do it.
So okay! (Okay!) Alright! Okay (Okay) Okay, ah!
It was my last attempt
It was my last defense
I didn't think I would ever do it
Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it)
It was my last attempt (last attempt)
It was my last defense (last defense)
I didn't think I would ever do it
Until I did it (I didn't think I could do it)
