Second Wind
Lynch Claire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somethin' familiar blew in with the wind
a dream I let fall by the wayside
I find myself yearnin' to live it again
Now, there's no stoppin' me this time, 'cause

CHORUS:
I've been surveyin' the shape that I'm in
Wasted and weary and wearin' it thin
I know where I've been but who knows where I'm goin'
I feel a second wind blowin', blowin' my way

The first time around you don't know what you have
until the day comes when you lose it
Now, I'm gettin' ready for my second chance
This time I won't refuse it, 'cause
CHORUS

I won't be denyin' my heart any longer




The longer I wait, this feeling grows stronger
CHORUS
