[Intro]
Caught in the shadows, waiting in line
Heart on standby, lost in rewind
[Verse 1]
She’s got her options, I’m standing still
Hoping one day I might fit the bill
Eyes searching for love that I can't define
Living in the echo of a maybe some time
[Pre-Chorus]
Bet I’m just the chapter she forgets
The second place I’ve known yet
Whispered promises, never quite mine
Dancing in the dark, waiting for the sign
[Chorus]
Always the second man in her story
Standing at the edge, lost in the worry
Will I ever find a love that’s true?
Or just a shadow of what I thought I knew?
Always second, never first in line
Searching for a love that’s mine
Hoping someday I’ll break through
And be the one she really knew
[Verse 2]
Reflections in the mirror, hollow and blue
Questions linger, what else can I do?
Her laughter echoes, but it’s not for me
Trapped in this endless reverie
[Pre-Chorus]
Bet I’m just the chapter she forgets
The second place I’ve known yet
Whispered promises, never quite mine
Dancing in the dark, waiting for the sign
[Chorus]
Always the second man in her story
Standing at the edge, lost in the worry
Will I ever find a love that’s true?
Or just a shadow of what I thought I knew?
Always second, never first in line
Searching for a love that’s mine
Hoping someday I’ll break through
And be the one she really knew
[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll break this chain
Find a love not built on pain
Until then, I stand and wait
Dreaming of a love that’s legitimate
[Outro]
So I’ll keep hoping, keep believing
That someday, I’ll be the one she's seeing
Till then, I’ll be the second man
Waiting in the shadow’s span
