Second Guessing
Jonny Lang Lyrics

Second guessin' first impressions
Questioning your initial thoughts

There you go again
Repeating the same behavior

Rushing off in all directions
Moving too fast without direction

Since I don't know when
For a while now

All day long you're building walls
Hiding your true self from others

You're building walls all day
Constantly hiding your true self from others

Putting ceilings on your feelings
Restricting your emotions

When they should fly away
Letting go of your emotions

Don't you think it's time you quit it
Isn't it time to change your behavior

Don't you think it's time you admit it
Isn't it time to acknowledge the truth

Your heart is more worthy of trust
Your emotions are more reliable

Than the thoughts in your mind that sit there gathering dust
Your thoughts are outdated and should be reevaluated

Everything you're looking for
The things you desire

You'll know when it's real
You'll recognize it when it's authentic

You'll know when you've found it
You'll recognize when you've discovered it

By the way you feel
Your emotions will guide you

Writing down your deepest emotions
Expressing your true feelings

With your pen in hand
Through writing

Your piece of paper flew out the window
Your emotions were lost or discarded

You watched it try and land
You observed the consequences of expressing your emotions

You felt bad as it flew out of sight
You regretted expressing your emotions

A part of your heart alone in the night
A part of your true self was left behind

All of a sudden you didn't mind it
You were no longer attached to the lost emotions

When you pictured that lonely stranger that would find it
When you imagined someone else finding and understanding your emotions
