Second Time Around Lyrics

dressed in full I'm ready to go
I've got a cab waiting outside my front door
my plane leaves within the hour
I know I won't be coming back no more
I left my flat, I left my friends, I left my job
it was bound to be this way
and as I leave the ground I start to think about
everything you made me say

things will never be the same again

faking sleep to avoid a conversation
with the lady sitting next to me
I say i'm sorry to hear about your husband
now would you please leave me be
she turns her head and starts to cry
I appologize and gently rub her hand
an hour pass we read our books
buckle up and get ready to land

things will never be the same again

get my bags board the train
next stop london second time around
I say a silent prayer to the lord above
I made it through and i'm still alive and sound
I know we've had our diffrences
but our love just never seems to fade
and when the good times come around
it's worth the lot on this I won't be swayed

thinking about the things I left and the life I could've had
but then your kiss reminds of that the life I live ain't all that bad

everything is easier the second time around
