[Verse 1] We were the French club dropouts But we never got excused from class The secretary must have been high To turn her blind eye on us sneaking out back And we were pregnant on the balcony And you caught me with a cigarette I never put this thing on my lips Just crushed it and spit on where I laid it to rest [Chorus] I was the best at being second place But now I'm just the runner-up At being the second one you think of every day Before you go back to one [Verse 2] We were the law school rejects So we quarrelled at the bar instead Shot out in four words or less You [?] to jail, you [?] a mess, you have the right to drink less Then we were floating on a balcony And I fell into a trampoline I never should've looked for a hand From that invisible push me pull you pushin' on me Songtexte[Chorus] I was the best at being second place But now I'm just the silvery dread And only in the shape of a bullet Am I ever the shape you see when you wake up dead [Bridge] So will you cauterize the bleeding or bastardize the meaning? I'm the one worth seeing As [?] friend, I guess that's the extent More than assisted when you cut inside the paper To project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void [Outro] I was the best at being second place Oh, I was the best at being second place I was the best at being second place Oh, I was the best at being second place I was the best at being second place But now I'm just the runner-up And only the second one you think of every day Aus Songtexte Mania
