Second Best Lyrics - Pedro The Lion

The impact 

The aftershave 

The European cigarettes 

The taxi 

The alcohol 

That lingers on your breath 

The lipstick 

The street lamp 

The woolen overcoat 

The front desk 

You tell yourself 

It isn't over yet 

Second best, oh, second best 

I can learn to live with this 

Plus, I really need a rest 

After all, what's wrong with second best 

What's wrong with second best 

The motel 

The distances 

Cave into kisses, cold and wet 

Familiar exchanges 

Like needle pulling thread 

The empty movements that once were so inspired 

Desperate attempts to fan the flame without the fire 

The mattress creaks beneath 

The symphony of misery and cum 

Still, we lie jerking back and forth 

And blurring into one 

Second best, oh, second best 

I can learn to live with this 

Plus, I really need a rest 

After all, what's wrong with second best 

What's wrong with second best
