Second Best
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the people all around us
Talking to and all about us
It’s the same
It will go away
Are you trying to be helpful?
Are you sleeping in the devils company?
Possibly
Don’t wake me up
I’m not sleeping
I’m not asking for any rest
And as long as I am breathing
I won’t settle for second best
We can teach ourselves the lessons
And we can change it any second of the day
We used to say
Are you trying to be helpful?
Are you sleeping in the devils company?
Possibly
Don’t wake me up I’m not sleeping
I’m not asking for any rest
And as long as I am breathing
I won’t settle for second best
Love the life that we don’t have
I wouldn’t change a thing
Not much but we don’t mind
I wouldn’t change a thing
Love the life that we don’t have
I wouldn’t change at all
Not much but we don’t mind
I wouldn’t change at all
Don’t wake me up
I’m not sleeping
I’m not asking for any rest
And as long as I am breathing
I won’t settle for second best
Don’t wake me up
I’m not sleeping
I’m not asking for any rest
And as long as I am breathing
I won’t settle for second best
I’m not asking for any rest
