Second Choice

You used to call me up at midnight

Promising me when the timing is right

You'd break up and run far away with me

You strung me along with excuses

One day I would be the one you choose

To have by your side, just not today

I don't want to be your fallback option

Sit in line bide my time

I'll be the quarterback I'll be calling you mine

I'm not the one after the one

I'm not the young and dumb

The careless risk you try for a month

When the morning comes you regret what you've done

I'm not the backup flavour

When your ice cream run out

Don't come looking to me

Cause I won't be

Your second choice

I used to think that if you saw me

Right place right time everything would fall into place

We'd fall in love with not a minute to waste

I used to be a hopeless romantic

Dreaming that you'd realise you wanted me more

Happy ever after right at your door

I don't want to be your fallback option

Sit in line bide my time

I'll be the quarterback I'll be calling you mine

I'm not the one after the one

I'm not the young and dumb

The careless risk you try for a month

When the morning comes you regret what you've done

I'm not the backup flavour

When your ice cream run out

Don't come looking to me

Cause I won't be

Your second choice

Why wait in line for someone who doesn't wanna be mine

When I could find the love who doesn't have to change his mind

I'm not the one after the one

I'm not the young and dumb

The careless risk you try for a month

When the morning comes you regret what you've done

I'm not the backup flavour

When your ice cream run out

Don't come looking to me

Cause I won't be

Your second choice
