[Verse 1]
Lyin' awake at four in the mornin'
Losing our breath when all we've done was talk
And this hurts better than makin' out in the back of a car
When I was fifteen and thought I was in love
I found it now

[Pre-Chorus]
But your heart has held a place
Should I hope that it can change?
I try to leave, but I don't think I can walk away

[Chorus]
But you say hold on just a little my darling
And follow until it's me in your embrace
But my hands are getting cold and it's been
So hard to know you're with him in the mornin'
I'm all in, but I'm a chance you'll never take
And it hurts when all I have is second place

[Verse 2]
How could we start and end in the night?
Something so right, now we don't even talk
But I keep waiting for you to call back
Say you've changed your mind
Just run away, and leave this all behind
And that's all I want

[Pre-Chorus]
But your heart has held a place
Should I hope that it could change?
I try to leave, but I don't think I can walk away

[Chorus]
And you say hold on just a little my darling
And follow until it's me in your embrace
And my hands are getting cold and it's been
So hard to know you're with him in the mornin'
I'm all in, but I'm a chance you'll never take
And it hurts when all I have is second place

[Post-Chorus]
Second place
Second place
Second place

[Outro]
But you say hold on just a little my darling
And follow until it's me in your embrace
And it hurts when all I have is second place
