When writing your history I will always be a footnote A distant memory A warning sign of mistakes made The kind that you learn from This song is the best of me taking pills for solemn odium, A better side of me, an open mind, for mistakes made The kind that you burn from So take this long confession as my price to pay I've never been the kind to let go But before you up and walk away I'm miserable without you, you know This silver leaves me longing for gold Second places never carry me home Second places never carry me home This song is so wild, the key I'm trying harder just to even these memories of you A warning sign of regression The kind you never learn from This song is a melody to show you a little more than a bitter history An open sky of redemption The kind you always burn from So take this long confession as my price to pay I've never been the kind to let go But before you up and walk away I'm miserable without you, you know This silver leaves me burning for gold Second places never carry me home Second places never carry me home You never carry me
