chances one:
yes, it’s yes
you asked me before
if there were only so many
loves in your life
if there are only so
many chances
for love
and I said yes
and I know
that you think
it’s because of fate
or god
or religion
but I know that
there are only
so many chances
to feel that bond
that there can only be
so many people
who perfectly fit you
who fit life a glove
who wants what you want
who feels like I feel
who dreams what you dream
you ask me if
there are only so many loves
who dream what you dream
you ask me if
there are only so many loves
and the answer is
yes
oh yes, it’s yes
