[Verse 1]
One single mistake has resulted in my body
Breaking through the windshield
My eyes are open and it feels like the first time
I've ever seen the earth for what it could it be
No promise to wake in the morning
How many seconds have I wasted and thrown away?
Every minute is a chance to be the person that you want to believe exists inside of the mess you've created

[Chorus]
Because I think I need you to understand
This collision survive was my second chance
Awaking to this hospital bed
I exhale with closing eyes and thank god I'm alive

[Verse 2]
Crimson blood stains my hands
Don't know who's alive or dead
I remember the worst from the night
From the scar that was ripped into my face
I swear on my life, I'll never forget this night

[Chorus]
Because I think I need you to understand
This collision survive was my second chance
Awaking to this hospital bed
I exhale with closing eyes and thank god I'm alive
[Bridge]
I see ambulance lights flash and sing
A song far too honest with me
God, hear my voice one more time
I'm the broken bone that needs to mend and become whole
Hear my voice one more time
Never again, never again will I sleep in the ground
My hands are extending so reach in and pull me out

[Chorus]
Because I think I need you to understand
This collision survive was my second chance
Awaking to this hospital bed
I exhale with closing eyes and thank god I'm alive

[Outro]
I inhale with brand new lungs
I inhale, I inhale with brand new lungs
Surviving this collision
