Da da da da da da da da Da da da da da da da Three p.m., sitting by the window Traffic lights are bleeding through the rain People drift by, moving slow I kill another hour watching shadows change Your messages get shorter every time In a world that calls detachment being wise Maybe my kind of love is out of time All the sweet talk, vows, and promises forever Flash like fireworks we swear will always stay Then the lies, the broken words, the silence after Fall like sparks and disappear before the day Everybody says it’s smart to leave before you’re hurting Count the cost before you ever take a chance There are so many words for what we’re hiding Why can’t we ever lay our hearts bare? The breeze comes in and lifts the curtain Summer’s final light fades from the room I know the words, I almost say them But every step to you feels one step too soon We keep our distance, call it peace of mind Like loving less could somehow save us time Maybe my kind of love is out of time All the sweet talk, vows, and promises forever Flash like fireworks we swear will always stay Then the lies, the broken words, the silence after Fall like sparks and disappear before the day Everybody says it’s smart to leave before you’re hurting Count the cost before you ever take a chance There are so many words for what we’re hiding Why can’t we ever lay our hearts bare?
