First Date (With A 2nd Chance)

+ Show full styles

(Chorus)
And it feels like a first date, with a second chance
Learning this old dance, taking a new stance
Nineteen years are lying in the rearview, it's true
But tonight, I’m just trying to make a brand new you
Brand new me, see what we can be
Starting over, but it ain't naive
It's a first date, with a second chance.

(Verse 2)
That cherry-sweet fizz, that familiar can
A little piece of the original plan
We’re building a new house on an ancient street
With a foundation that’s been tested by defeat
There’s a caution in your laughter, a hope in your eyes
We’re mapping the canyons under these city skies
And the silence we endured, that long and lonely break
Is the quiet we now need, for our own soul's sake

(Chorus)
'Cause it feels like a first date, with a second chance
Learning this old dance, taking a new stance
Nineteen years are lying in the rearview, it's true
But tonight, I’m just trying to make a brand new you
Brand new me, see what we can be
Starting over, but it ain't naive
It's a first date, with a second chance.

(Bridge)
We don't erase the chapters, we just turn the page
We’ve weathered the storms and the turning of an age
That time apart wasn't wasted space
It was the quiet we needed to remember this face
To remember the reason we started this race
And find our way back to this very place.

(Chorus)
And it feels like a first date, with a second chance!
Yeah, we're learning this old dance, taking a new stance!
Nineteen years are lying in the rearview, it's true
But starting right now, I’m gonna make a brand new you
With a brand new me, just wait and see…
Starting over, and it’s brave, you see?
This is our first date, with a second chance.

(Outro)
 First date, second chance…

Who really fell asleep at the show?
With your Dr. Pepper, and a hope that's slow to grow…

…Our second first glance.

(Verse 1) I almost ordered you a coffee, then I caught myself It was always a Dr. Pepper, right off the shelf You’re wearing a smile I haven’t seen in years And it almost chases away the ghosts, my fears We’re talking 'bout movies, and it makes me grin 'Arguing' 'bout which one of us fell asleep back then This table feels the same, but the ground’s brand new And I’m just trying to impress the you I thought I knew (Chorus) And it feels like a first date, with a second chance Learning this old dance, taking a new stance Nineteen years are lying in the rearview, it's true But tonight, I’m just trying to make a brand new you Brand new me, see what we can be Starting over, but it ain't naive It's a first date, with a second chance.
