Verse:
If there was another way I'd surely take it, if she came another way could
I make it?
I walked along the bay I bought myself a coat, how was I to know San
Francisco would be so cold
There was something she couldn't say on the phone so she sat down and wrote
A letter
On this night, on this night and I pray for another chance to do

Chorus:
I didn't want to see this in your eyes there's no room for compromise
You know I'm gonna fight to keep it in I just want to be there if it ends

Verse:
I walked all over the place I even crossed the Golden Gate bridge
By the time I got back to the hotel it was getting late
I read your letter again, I cursed my fate again
On this night, on this night

Chorus:
I didn't want to see this in your eyes there's no room for compromise
You know I'm gonna fight to keep it in I just want be there if it ends

Bridge:
Well I'm lost here picking up pieces of me
More than just words on paper that you left behind

Chorus/extended chorus
I didn't want to see this in your eyes there's no room for compromise
You know I'm gonna fight to keep it in I just have to be there when it ends

On this night and I pray for another chance to do
Why not this time, why not this time
On this night, on this night

(Ohs) If there was another way I'd surely take it
If we had another way we could make it
If there was another way I'd surely take it I'd take it
If we had another way we could make it
