[00:16.48]We were the French club dropouts
[00:20.78]But we never got excused from class
[00:25.66]The secretary must have been high
[00:28.54]To turn a blind eye on us sneaking out back
[00:33.72]And we were pregnant on the balcony
[00:38.13]And you caught me with a cigarette
[00:42.96]I never put the thing on my lips
[00:45.79]Just crushed it and spit on where I laid it to rest
[00:58.33]I was the best at being second place
[01:02.04]But now I'm just the runner-up
[01:06.40]At being the second one you think of every day
[01:11.64]Before you go back to one
[01:23.56]We were the law school rejects
[01:27.82]So we quarrelled at the bar instead
[01:33.08]Shot out in four words or less
[01:35.60]You want a jail, you want a mess, you have the right to drink less
[01:41.00]Then we were floating on a balcony
[01:45.21]And I fell into a trampoline
[01:50.08]I never should've looked for a hand
[01:52.90]From an invisible pushmi-pullyu pushin' on me
[02:01.10]I was the best at being second place
[02:04.53]But now I'm just the silver you dread
[02:08.91]And only in the shape of a bullet
[02:12.28]Am I ever the shape you see when you wake up dead
[02:20.80]So will you cauterize the bleeding or bastardize the meaning?
[02:26.38]I'm the one worth seeing
[02:29.25]As a waif, a friend, I guess that's the extent
[02:33.22]More than assisted when you cut inside the paper
[02:36.80]To project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void
[02:58.54]I was the best at being second place
[03:06.40]Oh, I was the best at being second place
[03:15.40]I was the best at being second place
[03:23.23]Oh, I was the best at being second place
[03:32.21]I was the best at being second place
[03:35.87]But now I'm just the runner-up
[03:40.47]And only the second one you think of every day
