Second Second Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Safe at home, safe from the unknown
Safely bored to death
Free at last, from that beautiful past
A life that’s come and gone

[Pre Chorus]
And we’ve found ourselves, at the end
But who were we when we began?

[Chorus]
I’m loving every second
And dying every first
As many times as you repeat it in your head
Crying just can’t be rehearsed
Bittersweet, we admit defeat
Prolong the curse
I hope this is not the last time we break up

[Verse 2]
Young love comes like a steady rush of blood
Shameless and shameful to the last
Emotions escaping like a smile from the edge of a kiss
But cupid’s arrow finally missed

[Pre Chorus 2]
And we’ve found ourselves, at the end
But who were we when we began?
[Chorus 2]
I’m loving every second
And dying every first
As many times as you repeat it in your head
Crying just can’t be rehearsed
Bittersweet, we admit defeat
Prolong the curse
I hope this is not the last time we break up

[Bridge]
Like a broken watch made new life starts again
I can imagine nothing better than being your friend
I’ve lived more in the last few days than most people live in their lives
The faces in the photo fade, but I can see through your disguise

[Chorus 3]
I’m loving every second
And dying every first
As many times as you repeat it in your head
Crying just can’t be rehearsed
And I’m loving every second
And dying every first
As many times as you repeat it in your head
Crying just can’t be rehearsed
Bittersweet, we admit defeat
Enjoy the curse
I hope this is not the last time
Oh, I hope this is not the last time
I hope this is not the last time we break up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Second Second is the oldest track on the record. I wrote it in it’s entirety about 4 years ago, which is probably why it sticks out as more of a ballad type song. Despite the fact that I’ve changed a lot as a musician and as a person since I wrote it, I’m still proud of the music and lyrics so I decided to include it.

I had a lot of fun with the strings on the end of this one. The Goo Goo Dolls are one of my favourite bands and I was aiming for the feel of the strings on tracks like Here Is Gone.
