Now the days grow long
And your hands and tears are lost
To the wind take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand, by the hair
I don't care anymore
Put the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first I'll be last don't want to need to go back

Chewing gum and white wine
Your cold answers mine
I'm wasting my time
You know I hate to lose
And maybe that's why
I've left you behind
I feel like I've left you behind

Ain't it nice
Second best
Ain't it good
Second best
Ain't it nice
Second best
Ain't it good
Second best

A-against the bathroom tiles
Your back goes on for miles
I'm losing my mind
Babe, you know it ain't fair
You leave me again
He's waiting downstairs
There's always somebody downstairs

Ain't it nice
Second best
Ain't it good
Second best
Ain't it nice
Second best
Ain't it good
Second best

What do I do to be better for you? Repeat
(Take me back take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand, by the hair
I don't care anymore
Put the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first I'll be last don't want to need to go back)

Ain't it nice
Second best
Ain't it good
Second best
Ain't it nice
Second best
Ain't it good
Second best
Repeat

(Take me back take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand, by the hair
I don't care anymore
Put the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first I'll be last don't want to need to go back)
