| Aw, I love this song...and the beginning (I'm a sucker for any kind of guitar solos) Anyway, this song is about this guy & girl who used to go out, & now they've "moved on" to other people. However, neither of them are satisfied w/ that arrangement. So they cheat w/ each other, but the guy's isn't too into that either & "just wants a second chance to be her first again" | |

| correct lyrics. ------------------------- I want your boyfriend in a box so I can send him off. Somewhere far away then we'll be the way like we used to be. You want my girlfriend all tied up so you can threaten her since I'm not with you. Now you're telling her that you still want me. [Chorus] I don't want to be second best. I've waited too long. I just want a second chance to be your first again. You're never satisfied with anyone. Pretending you're content. When your boyfriend leaves, you'll be calling me and we'll cheat again. [Chorus] To be your first again. Why can't this feeling end? To be your first again. [Chorus x2] | |
