Lyrics
It’s the second time
I know I’ve seen you here before
It’s no coincidence, I’m sure
That once again my spirit soar
And the second time
Is always harder than the first
Forgetting lines that I rehearsed
I fear the best
I fear the worst
Love is brave
It has ambition
Unafraid
Makes no condition
When I say
How much I love you
You’ll feel I’ve known you
A thousand years
For the second ti-ime
I feel I’m starting something new
Please understand the things I-I do
I’m unpredictable with you
Love is brave
It has ambition
Unafraid
Makes no condition
When I say
How much I love you
You’ll feel I’ve known you
A thousand years
