2nd Place Town Lyrics - Singles - Gie Few

This was before you were born 

& we were over the hill 

down on the street where you lived 

the scent of it lingers still 

we had a place in the clouds 

& there was heartache on every corner 

& people that came & that went 

had never been so unimpressed 

In this second place town 

stacks of nothing all around 

empty buildings that crumble down on dead avenues 

in this second place town 

friends are nowhere to be found 

they've thrown their hopes into the sound & wouldn't you 

It was a cold day in hell 

& no one was paying attention 

you kept your back to the wind 

& your sights on something else 

and left all the locals behind 

crying in our rented tuxedos 

and wishing that we were the ones 

who didn't have to wake up again 

So we look up to you now 

like a puppet looks up to his strings 

you & your championship friends 

with all of your 1st place things
