[Verse 1]
You walk in
Like a rerun scene
Same perfume
From an old magazine
Cheap red vinyl
On your jacket sleeve
Say my name
Like you never left me

[Pre-Chorus]
We keep trading
Old lines like they’re new
Rewinding
Every time I touch you

[Chorus]
Second-hand hearts
But they still beat crazy
Old cheap love
Feeling kind of wavy
We fall apart
Then we steal the night
Second-hand hearts
Looking brand-new under neon white
(oh-oh) second-hand hearts
(oh-oh) still shining in the dark

[Verse 2]
Your lipstick
On a plastic cup
My promise
You can drink it up
We’re dancing
On a borrowed thrill
Broken vows
But we love them still

[Pre-Chorus]
Every “never”
Turns to “one more time”
You keep crossing
Every warning sign

[Chorus]
Second-hand hearts
But they still beat crazy
Old cheap love
Feeling kind of wavy
We fall apart
Then we steal the night
Second-hand hearts
Looking brand-new under neon white
(oh-oh) second-hand hearts
(oh-oh) still shining in the dark

[Bridge]
Tell me
Baby
Are we past the end?
Or just waiting
To begin again?
Your tired halo
Tilts and spins
I still let
The trouble in (hey!)

[Chorus]
Second-hand hearts
But they still beat crazy
Old cheap love
Feeling kind of wavy
We fall apart
Then we steal the night
Second-hand hearts
Looking brand-new under neon white
(oh-oh) second-hand hearts
(oh-oh) still shining in the dark
