Oh, and when will our heartbeats fall into two lines
And the click-clack of our boot heels beat out the same time
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
And though I don't know your real name
Your real age, or your shoe size
I will leave this bedroom chair
And this keyboard behind
And I will love you in reality and dreams
And I will love you in reality and dreams
And though it kills me to know
That when we are through
You go to your real lover
Who'll put real kisses on you
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
And so this lonely, lonely hull
Has no use left for living
After finding her love
In a heart so unpermitting
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
But I'll kiss my lips and I'll blow it to you
It'll be the last thing that I ever do
And wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you
Oh, wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you
Wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you
And the click-clack of our boot heels beat out the same time
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
And though I don't know your real name
Your real age, or your shoe size
I will leave this bedroom chair
And this keyboard behind
And I will love you in reality and dreams
And I will love you in reality and dreams
And though it kills me to know
That when we are through
You go to your real lover
Who'll put real kisses on you
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
And so this lonely, lonely hull
Has no use left for living
After finding her love
In a heart so unpermitting
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
And I will die and never ever hold your hand
But I'll kiss my lips and I'll blow it to you
It'll be the last thing that I ever do
And wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you
Oh, wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you
Wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you

i think it's about a boy with a terminal illness, who is in love with someone who happens to be in a relationship, and the someone loves him back but chooses to stay in the relationship they're in - 'when we are through, you go to your real lover, who'll put real kisses on you'
this song seems like a bit of a dying letter in the way it's written like it is addressed to the person he is in love with - 'wherever you go and whatever you do, there's a man underground that will always love you'
i don't know, it's just me though
Sad.
This is a lyric from Noah and the Whale’s song ‘Second Lover’. That whole song makes me cry everytime I listen to it, but it’s one of my favourite songs at the same time.
But I was thinking about this line of the song, and how many people there are whose hands I’ve wanted to hold and never could…
That when we are through
You go to your real lover
Who'll put real kisses on you"
i think the song is about an affair. like an internet-affair. hence the title, "second lover".
'And so this lonely, lonely HEART'
They're the lyrics that came with the album. :]
