"Second Gear" is about not returning love the way your partner deserves while you're still understanding your own identity. It aims to capture the guilt one can feel in such a situation and the courage it takes to admit that love sometimes isn't what we want it to be.

[Verse]
You held my hand like it meant the world
While I rehearsed what the world wanted to see
You thought I loved you, and maybe I did
But not in the way you deserved it to be

[Verse]
I practiced smiles I thought you'd need
Gave you versions of me, incomplete
And I saw the questions behind your eyes
But I couldn’t name the reasons why

[Hook]
I was grateful, but I was lost
Telling myself it wasn't a cost
You gave me warmth, I gave you fear
And drove our bond in second gear...

[Chorus]
I'm sorry I kept pulling back
You didn’t sign up for all that
You needed someone sure and clear
Not someone stuck in second gear
I hope you find a steadier view
Than what you got when I was with you

[Verse]
You spoke of dreams, I nodded along
But the silence inside me was far too strong
You planned the seasons, I watched the days
Slipping through time in a hollow haze

[Verse]
You were kind in a world that taught me to lie
And I wish I had known how to try
Not to pretend, not to deflect
Not to love you with half-respect

[Hook]
You caught my silence, called it pain
But I just couldn’t explain
The parts of me I buried deep
Even from you, even in sleep

[Outro]
Oh... I'm sorry I kept pulling back...
And if by any chance, you're out there...
I hope you know I'm sorry for all that
