[Verse 1] You left your coffee cooling by the window One sock hanging off the kitchen chair I made a list of things I’d never noticed When I noticed; you were never there I told the dog I’d gotten over missing you He looked at me like, “Sure, okay” I practiced being casual in the mirror And failed in seven different ways [Pre-Chorus] I had a second— The grandest little second— To steal a kiss; So, what 'cha know... Then the door clicked shut, my brave face slipped And my feet forgot to Go... [Chorus] Had a second, then I grabbed a kiss Took less than that second to miss Hey now, come back, don’t make me explain My heart’s doing circles in the kitchen again Had a second, My second; second; To grabba kiss Took less than that second to miss You say, “Too late,” I say, “That’s rich” Call me a fool, but I’m sticking with this [Verse 2] I sent a message, deleted the message Sent a shorter one, deleted that too Finally wrote, “Hope your day is pleasant” Which is not what I meant to say to you My neighbor heard me rehearsing apologies Through the wall and through the rain She said, “Honey, if you love that hard You oughta use your proper name” [Pre-Chorus] I had a second— The grandest little second— To tell the truth before the moment slid But my mouth went shy, my hands went wild And my common sense hid [Chorus] Had a second, then I grabbed a kiss Took less than that second to miss Hey now, come back, don’t make me explain My heart’s doing circles in the kitchen again Had a second, My second; second; To grabba kiss Took less than that second to miss You say, “Too late,” I say, “That’s rich” Call me a fool, but I’m sticking with this [Bridge] One for the leaving, two for the doubt Three little steps and I’m chasing you out If love’s a bad bargain, I’ll pay what it costs I’d rather be foolish than permanently lost [Call and Response] Did you miss me? —Just a little! Did you mean it? —Every little bit! Did you save me one more kiss? —Don’t make me beg for this! [Final Chorus] Had a second, then I grabbed a kiss Took less than that second to miss Hey now, come back, don’t make me explain My heart’s doing circles in the kitchen again Had a second, My second; second; To grabba kiss Took less than that second to miss You say, “Too late,” I say, “That’s rich” Call me a fool, but I’m sticking with this [Outro] Had a second—don’t let it go Take my hand and move real slow Had a second, My second; second; To grabba kiss Took less than that second to miss... Took less than that second to miss... Took Me less than that second to miss.. A second to miss...
