The Second High

Outside, if the sun shines, is the beauty

But inside, in the dark times, there's a fury

Sweet as sugar or bitter as the lime that falls from the tree

There is no taste that I dare waste now that I'm finally tasting

Everywhere I go, there I am, that chills me to the bone

Everything I feel, everything that's real, everywhere that feels like home

And now I am forced to stay still there are feelings flooding into me

Maybe that's why I wanted the flow, the go, the leave, the hurry

The second high is nothing like the first, but I can't stop the thirst for the second

It takes me twice the lifetimes to learn the lesson

I can see the light and finally it's brighter than I used to see it

I am gonna try for the rest of my life to be thankful for it

The second high is nothing like the first but I can't stop the thirst for the second

Just one more time cos in my mind this is all a blur

But I've still got a thirst and I'm prepared to ride every transgression

While it takes twice the lifetimes to learn the lesson

Baby, I won't have to tell you I know everything cos won't anymore

I can see the light and finally it's brighter than I used to see it
