Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
'Cause I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
I remember when you would leave your friends
To spend time with me and cheat on him
I would never lie, wipe tears from your eyes
I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
'Cause I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
'Cause you remember when I would leave my friends
To spend some time and hear what's on your mind
I would sneak from your mom hold kisses on your arm
You would hold my hand, say I was your only man
I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
'Cause I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
'Cause I be wishin' when I would see you again
So we can be what we used to be back then
I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
'Cause I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
I wish I had a second chance
I wish I had a second chance
I wish I had a second chance
At lovin' you
'Cause I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
I wish I had a second chance
I wish I had a second chance
I wish I had a second chance
At lovin' you
'Cause I liked you girl and I still do
I wish I had a second chance at lovin' you
In "Second Chance," the singer is expressing regret over losing someone they cared about and wishing they could have another opportunity to love them.

The second verse is about the singer's own memories of being with the person, where they would listen to each other and share intimate moments. The chorus repeats the desire for a second chance, with the singer wishing that they could have what they used to have with the person again.
The song is about longing for something that can't be regained, a wish for a chance to try again. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia for lost love, of looking back on what was and hoping for a way to recapture it.
