You never noticed but I had that house on Main

And I remember thinking that you’d be worth the pain

So I tried and we flirted

And soon we were the talk of the town

But all we were holding was second hand

So why don’t we fly

Better we’re standing here to hold the ladder

Time’s only time

The longer we linger the more it matters

This tree is on fire It’s all down below the water

Your mind is on the hour but your eyes they’re tied

To the second hand

Old conversations

When we were just a song

Laid a new foundation

I can admit when I’ve been wrong

And the last thing you needed

Was to feel like you’re the talk of the town

And all we believe in is second hand

So why don’t we fly

Better we’re standing here to hold the ladder

And time’s only time

The longer we linger the more it matters

This tree is on fire

It’s all down below the water

Your mind is on the hour but your eyes

They’re tied to the second hand

Even with your questions

You never ask me where I’m from

Hold me like a river

And let me be who I’ve become

For the first time in ever

I don’t care if I’m the talk of the town

Everything spins ‘round

The second hand

So why don’t we fly

Better we’re standing here to hold the ladder

Time’s only time and the longer we linger the more it matters

This tree is on fire it’s all down below the water

Your mind is on the hour but your eyes they’re tied

To the second hand
