Second Guessing
Trusting Hearts Over Wandering Minds: Jonny Lang's Second Guessing
Lyrics
Second guessin' first impressions
Questioning initial judgments or impressions
There you go again
Expressing frustration with a repeated behavior
Rushing off in all directions
Acting hastily in various directions for a while
Since I don't know when
Indicating the duration of the impulsive behavior
All day long you're building walls
Metaphorically building barriers throughout the day
You're building walls all day
Reinforcing the idea of constructing emotional walls
Putting ceilings on your feelings
Restraining emotions instead of letting them free
When they should fly away
Encouraging the release of emotions rather than suppression
Don't you think it's time you quit it
Suggesting the need to stop the impulsive behavior
Don't you think it's time you admit it
Encouraging acknowledgment of the need for change
Your heart is more worthy of trust
Affirming the trustworthiness of one's heart
Than the thoughts in your mind that sit there gathering dust
Highlighting the value of emotions over stagnant thoughts
Everything you're looking for
Emphasizing the realization of genuine desires
You'll know when it's real
Believing in the authenticity of emotions
You'll know when you've found it
Determining true feelings by their impact
By the way you feel
Recognizing authenticity through emotional response
Writing down your deepest emotions
Expressing emotions through writing
With your pen in hand
Describing the act of putting emotions on paper
Your piece of paper flew out the window
Symbolizing the loss of emotional expression
You watched it try and land
Observing the departure of personal emotions
You felt bad as it flew out of sight
Feeling a sense of loss as emotions disappear
A part of your heart alone in the night
Isolating a part of one's heart in solitude
All of a sudden you didn't mind it
Acceptance and indifference toward the loss
When you pictured that lonely stranger that would find it
Imagining a stranger discovering and connecting with emotions
Everything you're looking for
Reiterating the theme of recognizing genuine emotions
You'll know when it's real
Confirming the authenticity of emotions
You'll know when you've found it
Identifying true feelings through personal experience
By the way it makes you feel
Measuring authenticity by its emotional impact
