Second Time Around
Love Rediscovered: Embracing the Second Time Around
Lyrics
And we were young
Reflecting on the past when they were young.
We were so young when we met
Describing the early days of their relationship.
And I was dumb
Admitting naivety or mistakes in the past.
To fall, for you
Acknowledging a romantic involvement despite potential risks.
And we've become
Noticing the transformation into strangers.
Strangers on the streets we used to walk
Highlighting the distance and unfamiliarity in their current interactions.
All because, it was new
Attributing the change to the novelty wearing off.
For you
Reiterating the impact on the speaker.
Love is better the second time around
Expressing the belief that love can improve with a second chance.
So I can know that you're safe and sound
Desiring reassurance about the partner's well-being.
Let me know, what I can do
Seeking guidance on how to rebuild the relationship.
So you'll let me love you like it's, not quite new
Expressing a wish to love again, overcoming past challenges.
We're moving on
Acknowledging the separation and forward movement.
Both going on our separate ways
Both partners embarking on individual paths.
But time will run, away far to soon
Noting the fleeting nature of time.
The streetlight glow
Recalling a specific memory of the partner under streetlights.
That brightened up your face when we last touched
Referencing the positive impact of past physical contact.
Is all I know in my memory of you
Associating memories with specific visual elements.
Love is better the second time around
Reiterating the belief in the improvement of love on a second attempt.
So I can know that you're safe and sound
Reaffirming the desire for the partner's safety and well-being.
Let me know, what I can do
Requesting guidance on how to proceed with the renewed relationship.
So you'll let me love you like it's, not quite new
Expressing a desire to love again with a sense of familiarity.
I know it was hard
Acknowledging the difficulty the partner faced in opening up.
I know it was hard for you to open up to me
Recognizing the challenges in establishing emotional intimacy.
Let me show you that I need it
Expressing a willingness to demonstrate the need for emotional connection.
I need it
Reiterating the speaker's emotional needs.
I know it was hard
Acknowledging the partner's struggle to share emotions.
I know it was hard for you to open up to me
Reaffirming the speaker's willingness to support the partner.
Let me show you that I need it
Expressing a commitment to demonstrating the need for emotional connection.
Love is better the second time around
Reiterating the belief that love can be improved in a second attempt.
So I can know that you're safe and sound
Expressing concern for the partner's safety and well-being.
Let me know, what I can do
Seeking advice on how to rebuild and strengthen the relationship.
So you'll let me love you like it's, not quite new
Expressing a desire to love again with a sense of familiarity.
Not quite new
Emphasizing that the love is not entirely new but has a sense of familiarity.
