Am I your second choice tonight
your invitation is not making it alright
I don't want to fight my way up
if I'm meant to be down
I don't want to drink to be sober
I don't have to sing to no crowd
you better tell the truth now
Am I your second choice tonight

Am I your grey comfort zone
the list gets shorter when you come home
I don't want to be that missed call
if you don't call at all
I have choices that I can make
and that means choosing to fall
you better lay the ground now
Am I your second choice tonight

I've never grabbed that trophy
I've never stood the tallest
I've never had confirmed
that quiet confidence I somehow built
If I was first
I would feel it
I'll need no words
and sense in your voice
the trembling of guilt

Am I your second choice tonight
your invitation is not making it alright
I don't want to fight my way up
if I'm meant to be down
I don't want to drink to be sober
I don't have to sing to no crowd
you better tell the truth now
Am I your second choice tonight
