    Only way to do that is to dispense with the cable between the second switch and the second light and run a cable between the first light and the second light.

    Well I probably shouldn't say the only way. You could run 3-conductor cable from source light to first switch, 4-conductor between switches and the 2-conductor to second light. Finding 4-conductor cable (cut to length) will probably not be convenient.
