Second Guessing

Johnny Lang

Second guessin' first impressions


There you go again


Rushing off in all directions


Since I don't know when


All day long you're building walls


You're building walls all day


Putting ceilings on your feelings


When they should fly away





Don't you think it's time you quit it


Don't you think it's time you admit it


Your heart is more worthy of trust


Than the thoughts in your mind that sit there gathering dust





Everything you're looking for


You'll know when it's real


You'll know when you've found it


By the way you feel





Writing down your deepest emotions


With your pen in hand


Your piece of paper flew out the window


You watched it try and land


You felt bad as it flew out of sight


A part of your heart alone in the night


All of a sudden you didn't mind it


When you pictured that lonely stranger that would find it





Everything you're looking for


You'll know when it's real


You'll know when you've found it


By the way you feel
