Time

Verse 1:
I'm not gonna lie
I've got no reason but
It took a fake excuse just to call you
And all that I had to ask how you're doing

And this will be the last time
I call when your line and my tongue is tied
'Cause I know the second we unwind
I'll be hung up on the silence we can't fight

And it's ok-- you can't help the way you feel
It's just a down play, a shift of gears, a chance to find a different pace
But still
You must forgive me if my optimism sometimes fades
It's hard to maintain a steady game face when you know the game has changed

Pre-Chorus 1:
I know that we did right, 'cause when I think straight I see the way that
It's not love that lost that night, it's just a matter of meeting you at the wrong time
A foot shy, of finally meeting eye to eye
But just far enough to make it feel like stepping back won't make it right

Chorus:
It's just been a long day
And it's harder when the seconds pause, on second thoughts
Why can't I just move on?
Move on
And do you feel the same way
And it's not my right to pry but you've been handling so well
While I'm not over this understanding

Verse 2:
The hardest thing is telling friends the things that happened
'Cause it's news to them and I have to retell it again and again
And that it's boring a long story never seems to work
'Cause I'm so bad at hiding
And without you I'm left with nothing but time

Pre-Chorus 2:
And in this fight, time always wins
'Cause in time I'll get over you
But it's the time between that's got me beaten
And I guess it's due in part to where it is with you I stand
'Cause just as I start to accept my place the ground keeps coming out again

Chorus:
It's such a long day
And it's harder when the seconds pause, on second thoughts
Why can't I just move on?
Move on
And do you feel the same way
And it's not my right to pry but you've been handling so well
While I'm not over this understanding

Bridge:
And though I know I've broken the rules by talking to you
And that I'll never find the way to change your mind, not this time
I can't stand to think of you in hindsight
'Cause you know as well as I
That I'm sick of being the type that looks behind me

Pre-Chorus 3:
I know that we did right, 'cause when I think straight I see the way that
It's not love that lost that night, it's just a matter of meeting you at the wrong time
A foot shy, of finally meeting eye to eye
But just far enough to make it feel like stepping back won't make it right

Chorus:
It's such a long day
And it's harder when the seconds pause, on second thoughts
Why can't I just move on?
Move on
And do you feel the same way
And it's not my right to pry but you've been handling so well
While I'm not over this understanding

It's such a long day
And it's harder when the seconds pause, on second thoughts
Why can't I just move on?
Move on
And do you feel the same way
And it's not my right to pry but you've been faring so well
Farewell
