We were born on the same day,
Same year, beneath the same sky.
We grew up side by side,
Always asking the same “why?”

You were there through all the changes,
Through the laughter and the tears.
For a while we were inseparable,
Two lives moving through the years.

You were more than just my friend,
You were the closest part of me.
You kept on living wild at night,
While I was heading for the light.

Now when you call me late at night,
I can hear it in your voice.
You talk about the days we had
Like you wish we had a choice.

You say, “Where did we go wrong?
When did we become so far apart?”
And I can hear the old you
Still speaking from your heart.

Your second self is still waiting for you,
Your second self still loves you too.
Still believing you can change,
Still believing there’s a better you.

Your second self is still waiting for you,
Still hoping you’ll come back someday.
Leave the darkness, leave the poison,
Find a better way.

You still live beneath the neon,
Friday nights and crowded bars.
Rock and roll is still your world,
Chasing shadows, chasing stars.

There are bottles on the table,
There are strangers coming and going.
You keep searching for a feeling
That you lost so long ago.

And when you call me, you remember
Who we were before the fall.
You say, “You used to be my second self,
Now I barely know you at all.”

You don’t sound angry when you say it,
You just sound a little sad.
Like you’re mourning something beautiful,
Something we once had.

You stayed behind inside the night,
While I went looking for the day.
Somewhere along the road we took,
Our paths just went their separate ways.

Your second self is still waiting for you,
Your second self still loves you too.
Still believing you can change,
Still believing there’s a better you.

Your second self is still waiting for you,
Still hoping you’ll come back someday.
Leave the darkness, leave the poison,
Find a better way.

We don’t have to be those children,
We don’t have to live the past.
But I still believe the person
I once knew is in you still.

You don’t have to lose the music,
You don’t have to lose the night.
Just don’t lose yourself completely
Trying to keep the darkness alive.

Same birthday, same year,
Two roads running far apart.
But if you ever turn around,
You’ll know exactly where to start.

Your second self is still waiting for you,
Your second self still loves you too.
Still believing you can change,
Still believing there’s a better you.

Your second self is still waiting for you,
Still hoping you’ll come back someday.
Leave the darkness, leave the poison,
Find a better way.
