Second Time Around
Love Renewed: Embracing Life's Second Chances Through 'Second Time Around'
Lyrics
I lie awake and watch you sleep
I stay awake and observe you sleeping
Worry lines not so deep
Lines of worry on your face are not as profound
That freckled girl you used to be
Referring to the past when you were a freckled girl
So many years we lived our separate lives
We spent many years living separate lives
Could not forget you if I tried
Even if I tried, I couldn't forget you
But an angel brought you back to me
An angel or a fortunate event brought you back to me
I used to have such grand romantic plans, but holding hands means more now
Originally had ambitious romantic plans; now, simple gestures like holding hands have more significance
I've learned to love the little things, the second time around
Learned to appreciate and love the small things in the relationship
This time we won't care who was right or who was wrong
Not concerned about who was right or wrong in the past
This time when I'm in your arms, it feels like I belong
Feeling a sense of belonging when in your arms
We're both older now, a little wisdom found
Both partners have gained wisdom with age
Love is sweeter the second time around
Love is more enjoyable and precious the second time around
I used to dream of how it might've gone
Used to imagine alternate scenarios if they hadn't been so young
If we hadn't been so young
Reflecting on the past when there were many lessons to learn
With all those lessons left to learn
Describing the second chance as a valuable and rare opportunity
This second chance is like a precious jewel
Comparing the second chance to a precious jewel
It's our small miracle
The second chance is viewed as a small miracle
We've seen how love can return
They have witnessed how love can be rekindled
I used to be afraid to give myself away, always held back somehow
Previously hesitated to fully commit emotionally
Gonna love you with my whole heart the second time around
Committing to love wholeheartedly the second time around
This time we won't care who was right or who was wrong
Not concerned about past conflicts or who was right or wrong
This time when I'm in your arms, it feels like I belong
Feeling a sense of belonging in each other's arms
We're both older now, a little wisdom found
Both partners have gained wisdom with age
Love is sweeter the second time around
Love is more enjoyable and precious the second time around
Then our timing wasn't right so I'm gonna take right now
Previously, the timing for their love wasn't right, but now they are seizing the present moment
Love is sweeter the second time around
Emphasizing that love is more enjoyable and fulfilling when experienced for the second time
