Second Time Around

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your sweater on my chair I never moved it from that spot All of your echoes in this room Louder than every word we lost [Pre-Chorus] I rehearsed my pride Like a shield I’d hide behind But these nights run long And your name keeps crossing my mind [Chorus] So if this is our second time around I won’t let your heart hit the ground I’ll learn your storms I’ll stay I’ll stay Talk through the night till we find our way If this is our second time around I’ll hold on when we’re breaking down I had to lose you just to see What you really mean to me [Verse 2] I see your number on my phone My hands are shaking like the first time You say “I’m driving by your place” I clean the house But mostly my pride [Pre-Chorus] You walk through the door Every scar I can’t ignore But your eyes say “try” And my walls fall down to the floor [Chorus] So if this is our second time around I won’t let your heart hit the ground I’ll learn your storms I’ll stay I’ll stay Talk through the night till we find our way If this is our second time around I’ll hold on when we’re breaking down I had to lose you just to see What you really mean to me [Bridge] I can’t rewrite what I said then (oh no) But I can choose every word from here on (from here on) Promise I’ll listen when you’re quiet Hear the truth under every silence [Chorus] If this is our second time around I won’t let your heart hit the ground I’ll learn your storms I’ll stay I’ll stay Talk through the night till we find our way If this is our second time around I’ll be the safest love you’ve found I had to lose you just to see You’re the only home in me
