Second Chance Songtext
von Y O U

She was gone too soon
Like a second hand record by a band that you really love

And the change I thought was coming
Wasn′t coming 'less something caught her
Like a brand she′d heard of

She was part of that machine
Red handed at the scene
No acquittal 'cause it fit her like a glove
Velvet ropes 'round her case
With alarms just in case
Were a waste, she escaped up above

Now she′s running down south
With a song in her mouth
And when she gets there
We′ll all dance, yes we'll all dance
And it won′t feel nothing like a second chance
It ain't nothing like a second chance


There were the high school friends
Always caught up in trends
Who were stuck like unfortunate tattoos

And the evil stepmother
Who shared only with her brothers
The fortune she′d fell into

Her father thought his daughter
Was an angel 'til it caught her
Found out all those rumors were true

She begged him all for forgiveness
But she knew she′d never live this down
Given those devils their due

Now she's running down south
With a song in her mouth
And when she gets there
We'll all dance, yes we′ll all dance
And it won′t feel nothing like a second chance
It ain't nothing like a second chance

We′ll all dance, yes we'll all dance
And it won′t feel nothing like a second chance
It ain't nothing like a second chance


Now I was third on her list
And I was quick to insist
That she came in, it would be short and sweet
She brought a couple 45s
Brought back memories of drives
That we took before she moved off our street

We listened all the way through
Sang the choruses too
About holding hands in the night and the heat

And when the record started scratching
I could tell by her reaction
That night would make my failure complete

Now we′re running down south
With a song in our mouths
And when we get there
We'll all dance, yes we'll all dance
And it won′t feel nothing like a second chance
It ain′t nothing like a second chance

We'll all dance, yes we′ll all dance
And it won't feel nothing like a second chance
It ain′t nothing like a second chance
