Happy smiling crying all put to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last
And now I find myself tugging at your dress
The thought of holding you down or seeing you frown is never
gonna pass
Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Gray like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All on postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down that laughing clown is all I ever get
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around
Couldn't help myself
I felt like everything was gonna pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last
And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lying crying in your bed
While I'm all tired out so wired out it's ringing in my head
Another second time around I've been running from ya
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for ya
Another second time around
