lyrics
Second Thoughts
I’m having second thoughts again
They’re like dust on my mind
Blurring my vision
Changing the light
I feel like I am eight years old again
On the swings in the garden
And I’m going back and forth
Up and down
Somebody’s pushing me all around
And I’m screaming from the top of my lungs
But there is nothing I can do
‘cause I’m strapped to the swing seat
I’m having second thoughts again
I’m changing my mind
No I’m not afraid to fail
Instead I’m scared of succeeding
I feel like I’m on wheel of fortune
And I can never lose
But I keep spinning the wheel
Spinning around
I’m spinning the wheel spinning around
‘cause I don’t ever want to stop dreaming
and wake up to see I’ve got everything I need
I’ve got everything I need....
We’re all having second thoughts these days
We’re all changing our minds
Chasing the dust cloud we perceive as perfection
It feels like you’re being pushed on down the road
And nobody ever wins
We’re just going back and forth up and down
Life’s spinning us all around
Oh I’m sick and I’m tired of aiming so high
I just want to smell the grass on my feet
I want to look at the rain in my window
I want to drink tea and learn how to play chess
And then maybe fly to the other end of the world and swim naked in some lagune…..
But I’m having second thoughts again.
