Second Chance

Well it was just like
You said it would be
No big secret here
There’s no mystery
In fact it was called
And we got it from both ends
Now I know they’re never
Gonna take us back again
It’s where I watched you grow
It’s where you spread your wings
I don’t have no control over these things
Oh your lips are like home
And your arms are like old friends
Now I know they’re never gonna
Take me back again
Now I’ve got nothing but love
To give all day long
I get none in return
Just the same old sad song
I’ve got no one to blame
Cause I got it all wrong
I’ve got nothing left to give you
Just love all the day long
Well it feels just like
It was yesterday
When you took my hand
You said let’s just pray
That before we get old
Before we reach the bitter end
That you and I will soon enough
Be together again
So I let you go
So I cut you loose
Back into the wild
You’ve been reintroduced
Oh but I should have known
With how quick you’ve outgrown your friends
That you were never gonna
Make it back this way again
Now I’ve got nothing but love
To give all day long
I get none in return
Just the same old sad song
I’ve got no one to blame
‘Cause I got it all wrong
I’ve got nothing left to give you
Just love all the day long
Well it was just like
You said it would be
No big secret here
There’s no mystery
Oh your lips are like home
And your arms are like old friends
Now I know they’re never gonna
Take me back again
Now I’ve got nothing but love
To give all day long
I get none in return
Just the same old sad song
I’ve got no one to blame
‘Cause I got it all wrong
I’ve got nothing left to give you
Just love all the day long
