I long to go down to the sea again
And watch the waves crash on the beach again
See the fog come rolling in
And catch that wave again
But then you feel that way
The way you felt before
You gaze down at the shore
Feeling insecure
I came a long way to be with you tonight
Took just one look and then I knew
Nothing second rate, nothing second rate
Nothing second rate will do
And when it came your way
You found no words to say
You didn’t even try
Just let it walk by
It seems so inadequate to me
To have your chance and just not take it
We gazed down at the shore
Feeling insecure
I long to go down to the sea again
And see the waves crash on the beach
The fog comes rolling in
You feel that you could reach
Out and touch everything
But then you just can’t win
That feeling of foreboding
When you sense that what you’re holding
Contains a fatal flaw, feeling insecure
Feeling insecure, you know what you should do
You should just take one look
One look and then you knew
Nothing second rate will do
