SECOND LIFE

Intro I already died once. Just nobody buried me.

Verse 1 There was a year I stopped answering Stopped looking people in the eye Kept the curtains shut till evening Let the whole damn summer die I ate standing at the counter Slept wherever sleep would land Had a pulse, had rent, had Mondays Wouldn't call that being a man Then you showed up without thunder No grand entrance, no parade Just sat beside me in the silence Like silence wasn't something strange And that scared me more Than losing ever did

Chorus Second life I wasn't promised one You put blood back in the places I thought had all gone numb Second life Now I've got something to lose I wasn't scared of dying Till I started loving you

Verse 2 Now I notice morning sunlight Now I lock the door at night Now I drive a little slower Now I care who wins the fight You made ordinary dangerous Coffee, headlights, coming home Every little thing can break me When I finally call it mine I used to laugh at men who prayed Like heaven owed them something back Now I catch myself at red lights Making deals I never had

Breakdown Take the house Take the truck Take every mile I've done But don't hand me a second life Just to take away the one Second life No guarantee No clean slate No destiny Just your hand Finding mine In the dark where I survived I wasn't scared of dying Till you made me feel alive
