Second Best
Have you any idea how it feels?
I was winning the race before you slashed my heels
Do you know how it feels?
To be running against a wind
That works hand in hand with gravity
And now I’m stuck again at the starting line
And wondering…
Chorus
Why didn’t you see?
The skies implored the sun to shine on me
But you summoned the clouds
To rain down poisoned dreams all over me
They kept me waiting
With the winds I ran into the walls of time
That turned the clock right back
To the days where you had just met me…
Swimming against the tide
The waves came crashing down all over me
I was drowning in a sea
Where I drifted for what seemed to be an eternity
Until I washed up ashore
Where I felt the weight of gravity once more
Lying in the sand
I felt the grains of time slipping through my hands
And I realise this was all a test
To not slip on dreams that always made me second best
