Seconds, please! by Danielle Ernstit all started with a second thought
a second glance
a second to think back about the first time
I held you close to me
a second longer than usual
I bet you never noticed
Ive got a way
of slipping through the cracks
and sneaking around the backs of people's minds
but a girl gets tired of standing in the dark wings
she longs for a second or two in the spotlight
and more truthfully,
she longs to share it with an ever-present "HIM"
I speak from experience, you see
and on second thought
now I see
your second glances
I know you close your eyes at night
taking a second to think about the first time
you held me close to you
a second longer than usual
hoping no one would notice
I guess it all started when I did
