Secondhand Serenade es un proyecto solitario compuesto por John Vesely, de Menlo Park, California, quién canta y toca la guitarra y el piano. Su música se compone de multipistas que, juntas, componen el sonido de una banda. El Nombre de la banda, Secondhand, se refiere a que su esposa, Candice, oye todas las canciones "de primera mano". Siendo así, para los oyentes de su música es la Serenata de Segunda mano (Secondhand Serenade).
En 2004, Vesely salió del grupo de rock alternativo Sounds Like Life

[Verse 1] CF Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in, CF because it's cold outside (cold outside, it's cold outside). CF Share with me the secrets that you kept in AmG because it's cold inside (cold inside, it's cold inside).
[Pre-Chorus] F And your slowly shaking finger tips C show that you're scared like me. AmG So, let's pretend we're alone. F And I know you may be scared G and I know we're unprepared, C but I don't care.
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, G/BF what makes you think that you are invincible? AmC I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure. G/BF Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable.
Impossible.
[Verse 2] CF I was born to tell you I love you. C Isn't that a song already? F I get a B in originality. CF And it's true, I cant go on without you, Am your smile makes me see clearer. G If you could only see in the mirror what I see.
[Pre-Chorus] F And your slowly shaking finger tips C show that you're scared like me. AmG So, let's pretend we're alone. F And I know you may be scared G and I know we're unprepared, C but I don't care.
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, G/BF what makes you think that you are invincible? AmC I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure. G/BF Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable.
Impossible.
[Bridge]
AmG/BC Slow down, girl, F you're not going anywhere. G Just wait around and see. AmG/BCF Maybe I'm much more, you never know what lies ahead. GAmG/BC I promise I can be anyone, I can be anything. FG Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed. AmG/BC I can be anyone, anything. FG I promise I can be what you need.
[Chorus] C Tell me, tell me, G/BF what makes you think that you are invincible? AmC I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure. G/BF Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable.
