[Verse 1] I take the stand-in meal When I want the real deal Cold fries in a paper bag Still call it a win, I guess I kiss the almost-right Then ride it through the night Love on sale, heart on hold Always buying what’s half sold [Pre-Chorus] I keep saying “good enough” When I know I want more My hands stay open wide At a door behind a door [Chorus] Second helpings, second helpings I keep reaching for more Second helpings, second helpings But I’m still hungry for Food on the plate Love in my arms A little green light A shot at the stars Second helpings, second helpings I can’t live on what’s left [Verse 2] I take the safe bet route Then I watch my fire go out Dull shoes on a runway Dreams in a borrowed coat I say, “I’ll start Monday” Then Monday slips away The chair gets my best years While my name waits backstage [Pre-Chorus] I keep saying “good enough” When I know I want more My hands stay open wide At a door behind a door [Chorus] Second helpings, second helpings I keep reaching for more Second helpings, second helpings But I’m still hungry for Food on the plate Love in my arms A little green light A shot at the stars Second helpings, second helpings I can’t live on what’s left [Bridge] Maybe I’m done with scraps Done with almosts, done with lack If I want a fuller life I gotta ask for that [Chorus] Second helpings, second helpings I keep reaching for more Second helpings, second helpings But I’m still hungry for Food on the plate Love in my arms A little green light A shot at the stars Second helpings, second helpings I can’t live on what’s left
