[Verse 1]
Happy, smiling, crying
Outburst to my past
I guess those stormy gray skies simply couldn't last
And now I find myself a-tugging at your dress
The fun of holding you down, or seeing you frown, is never going to pass
Somewhere there's a place a soul can never go
Grey like stormy skies I hoped you didn't know
All our postcards full of things I won't forget
And now it's coming down, that laughing clown is all I ever get

[Chorus]
Another second time around I've been running from you
Another second time around
Another second, one more second time I waited for you
Another second time around

[Verse 2]
Couldn't help myself
I felt like everything was going to pass
It was an awkward time
I hoped it wouldn't, hoped it couldn't last
And I didn't know exactly what to say
About the things you saw me do my evil way
And I know you're lying, crying in your bed
Well I'm all tired out, so wired out, it's ringing in my head

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Another second time around
Another second time around

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
