Oliver Twitter - The 2nd Time Around

The Second Time Around

You're not too handsome but I like the way you move
There's something different there that shows you're deep inside
No clumsiness, a quiet finesse
With that in mind, I'll do my best
But you're too strong for me I don't think I'll survive

I'm scared of getting close in case you go away
I think of just how good our time would be in touch
Like children from a pup
You take so freely what I've got
And hurt inside to know you feel it just as much

Some other time I think it might have been quite different
We know it could have been as good as we both pretended
People I love keep passing by
And they don't care to tell me why
By never starting, we have never really ended

You want to love but you're not sure of what to do
So, what to do but laugh and keep on circlin' 'round
And hope that love will take a twist
So, even though the best is missed
With any luck we'll cross the second time around

You think I'm crazy and it's best you think that way
It's my protection from what's really in the wind
I'll think that it's all been worthwhile
If you can spare a loving smile
And show you know I dare not let you in

A dream I know, most dreams go underground
It's best to share a dream than tear the other down
I'd have to trust you to be kind
Out of control, like driving blind
I'll just enjoy your laugh, the having you around

Some other time I think it might have been quite different
We know it could have been as good as we both pretended
People I love keep passing by
And they don't care to tell me why
By never starting, we have never really ended

You want to love but you're not sure of what to do
So, what to do but laugh and keep on circlin' 'round
And hope that love will take a twist
So, even though the best is missed
With any luck we'll cross the second time around
