The Second Time was a pathetic attempt to create something emotional on the level of Landslide, but is a huge misfire. For me, it exposes an odd quirk and a big weakness/flaw in Stevie's lyrics -- she obliviously switches tenses within a stanza and it spoils any comprehensible cohesiveness. The last lines of the song is the epitome of it.

Someone that you loved and will aways love second person
The second time around for us first person
She never looked back, she could never look back third person

Uhh!
