Secrets
Second Chances Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there anything to fill this empty space that I've created in my heart? Well, call me crazy, but I've convinced myself that you're the only one that could calm me down.
So hear me out, cause this is the hardest thing I'll ever have to say. Your eyes..
Make my heart stop beating.
Your touch..
Is the only thing I've felt in 9 long months.
Turn all the clocks back,
Make me feel like I'm a kid again, playing in the snow for the first time.
And I'll keep you safe and warm.
I'll sing a million songs about you.
Girl, I'm such a mess without you, but I think you know you make it easier to say...
Your eyes..
Make my heart stop beating.
Your touch..
Is the only thing I feel.
Your hands feel so perfect in mine.
So why can't I, why can't I
Keep you satisfied?
If you'd let me, I'd hold you close like the best kept secret.
And if you'd let me, I'd keep you like a promise.
Your eyes..
Make my heart stop beating.
Your touch..
Is the only thing I feel.




Your hands feel so perfect in mine.
So why can't I, why can't I keep you satisfied?
