Second Chance

Don't own DOn't sue Not true. Please rate and review. THis was a quick little song fic I thought would fit Chris #2.

My eyes are open wide
By the way I made it through the day
I sat by everyday, having my dreams pass me by. "You will never do anything."My mother would nag "You are just like your father." Each time she said that it brought tears to my eyes, I am nothing like my father, Never have never will.
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today
I had enough, I didn't care if I was only 17. had no money. I was getting on that train, to the city, I'm going to Pittsburgh to see my dream come true, I am going to be in a band...no matter what it means.
I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
I sat up the night before working out my plan, screw that I had no plan all I had was $200 I had saved, and my backpack with photos of my family and whatever I could fit. Nothing was going to change my mind. I had the train ticket in my hand as I headed out the door...
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
Dear Mom and Dad,
By the time you get this letter I will be gone. I wish I could have done this better, to your face, but I know you wouldn't have understood. This is my life, and I'm taking a chance"
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
"This is my life, that is the point of this all, I am going to Pittsburgh to go join a band, one that understands. Don't bother trying to look for me, it would be pointless. I am gone."
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
"There is nothing you could have done to change this, no matter what this is what I would have done. I'm not angry,"
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
"But maybe one day I will be back."
Love,
Chris
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
I left the note in my desk, and walked the 2 miles to the train. It wasn't bad, but I got there just in time. I knew the minute I walked on that train this was where I belonged. I was off to my new home, even if the plans weren't there.
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today
There it was, Pittsburgh. Walking off the train, onto the big city streets. I could feel that I had made it some place where I could grow and become my dream.
I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
The streets were my home, I had no idea where was safe, but I found a place that felt okay, it was a vegan place.
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
"Woah, who are you" Thats how I awoke, I had been "living" there for about a week now. "Chris Barker." I reached out to shake the young man's hand.

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
"Dear Mom and Dad,
6 long months it has been, so much has chanced since then, I met this boy....It was love at first site
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
"I joined his band Anti-Flag, they all love me. My dream is coming true. Everything worked out."
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
"I am coming home this weekend, I'm now a 18 year old, and have learned so much. I hope you guys aren't mad, but I feel its my time to see you."
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
"HereI took my chance and ran.
Love,
Chris
Here is my chance
This is my chance
I put the letter in the mail box and walked back smiling.
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
As I sat on the train it brought back the memories of what I did. Everything I put on the table for my dreams. It all worked out.
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
The train came to a hault and I got off. I remembered the town, it was a strange feeling to be back.
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
There it was my home, where I grew up, the place I left to bring my future closer. I'm not mad at what happened here...but only they know if they will ever love me still.
But that was when I saw Mom walking out the front door, arms wide open and tears running down here face.
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
