The 2nd Time Around Lyrics

You're not too handsome but I like the way you move

There's something different there that shows you're deep inside

No clumsiness, a quiet finesse

With that in mind, I'll do my best

But you're too strong for me I don't think I'll survive

I'm scared of getting close in case you go away

I think of just how good our time would be in touch

Like children from a pup

You take so freely what I've got

And hurt inside to know you feel it just as much

Some other time I think it might have been quite different

We know it could have been as good as we both pretended

People I love keep passing by

And they don't care to tell me why

By never starting, we have never really ended

You want to love but you're not sure of what to do

So, what to do but laugh and keep our feelings down

And hope that love will take a twist

So, even though the best is missed

With any luck we'll cross the second time around

You think I'm crazy and it's best you think that way

It's my protection from what's really in the wind

I'll think that it's all been worthwhile

If you can spare a loving smile

And show you know I dare not let you in

A dream I know, most dreams go underground

It's best to share a dream than tear the other down

I'd have to trust you to be kind

Out of control, like driving blind

I'll just enjoy your laugh, the having you around

Some other time I think it might have been quite different

We know it could have been as good as we both pretended

People I love keep passing by

And they don't care to tell me why

By never starting, we have never really ended

You want to love but you're not sure of what to do

So, what to do but laugh and keep our feelings down

And hope that love will take a twist

So, even though the best is missed

With any luck we'll cross the second time around
