Second Chance Summer
Warm acoustic pop with subtle indie shimmer; male vocals upfront and conversational. Fingerpicked guitar in the verses with soft pads underneath, then a bright, strummed lift into the chorus with light percussion and stacked oohs. Bridge adds a simple piano counter-melody and a gentle tom build before dropping to vocal-and-guitar for the final hook.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Your sweater's in a box
Dust on all the frames we took
Coffee getting cold
Phone face down
I never look
I learned every crack
In the ceiling of this room
Every lonely afternoon
Felt like it bloomed into a bruise
Chorus
I thought my heart was out of color
All used up
All out of wonder
But you walked in
Laughing at nothing
Turned my silence into something
Losing you tore me apart
But somehow it made me larger
Now I got a second chance summer
New love in a braver heart
Verse 2
Met her in a line
Spilled my drink
She laughed too loud
Said "you look half here"
Guess my hurt was showing out
We talked until they closed
Shared the stupid
Shared the scars
How it hurts to lose your person
How it heals to be who you are
Chorus
Bridge
I still drive past your old street sometimes
But I don’t park there anymore
There’s a hand that reaches for mine now
[low vocal register] And I’m not keeping score
I can miss you
And still move on
Both can live inside this song
Chorus
