Second Time Around
Madeline Juno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It must be something in the way things are between us
I can't shake it off
I don't know what it is
where we're going
Do you miss me the way I miss you?
Whenever we don't talk
Whenever we fade
Whenever we float apart in every way
I know that I can't help myself
But rip out my heart
Now it's yours to have

It must be something in the way you smile
in the way you walk
with your head held so high
and I'm blue as your eyes
you're not mine
and do you recall now
the night when you would say
"give it some time
Just wait a little longer
and you're mine"
I knew I couldn't help myself
but rip out my heart
now it's yours to have
Won't you let me
take you back to the place where we first met
just take my hand again
and kiss me on my forehead
say "we'll be alright
this is our time now
we make it work somehow
second time around
second time around"
I, I didn't lie
I, I didn't lie
and I'm sorry
I'm not what you wanted
I, I won't cry no more
I won't cry
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
If you can seem to want me
the way I want you
won't you let me
take you back to the time when you loved me
you had me hanging in your last words
you said we'd be alright
this was our time now
don't let me go now
one second time around
second time around




Don't let me go now
second time around

It must be something in the way things are between us
There's an unexplainable feeling between us


I can't shake it off
I can't ignore or forget that feeling


I don't know what it is where we're going
I don't know where this feeling is leading us


Do you miss me the way I miss you?
I wonder if you feel the same way I do


Whenever we don't talk
Whenever there's distance between us


Whenever we fade
Whenever our connection weakens


Whenever we float apart in every way
Whenever we become distant in every aspect


I know that I can't help myself
I can't control how I feel


But rip out my heart
It hurts so much


Now it's yours to have
I'm giving you my heart


It must be something in the way you smile
Your smile makes me feel things


in the way you walk
The way you carry yourself


with your head held so high
With confidence and pride


and I'm blue as your eyes you're not mine
I feel sad because I know we're not together


and do you recall now the night when you would say
Do you remember when you gave me hope?


"give it some time Just wait a little longer and you're mine"

I won't dwell on sadness anymore


I'm giving you up
I'm letting you go


If you can seem to want me the way I want you
If only you feel the same way

A chance to start over


Don't let me go now
Please don't leave me again

Juno's Stimme würde man blind erkennen so wie ihr Gitarrenstil und einfach alles an ihrer Musik, in meinen Augen hat es Madeline Juno definitiv Geschaft "andere" Musik zu machen, einfach Besonderst, einzigartig, individuell...
Das liebe ich an der Musik.
