lyrics

You close your eyes and kiss your hand
Then you blow it
But it isn’t meant for me
And I notice
If the choice was ours alone
Then why’d we both choose letting go
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down
To a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, so honestly
I’m calling out
Do you hear the conversations
We talk about?
Or back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there’s half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine we show it
Off

All talk and not a lot to think
We were living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there’s something left to lose
Then don’t let me wear out my shoes
Am I still walking?

I tried, but it rang and rang
I called all night
From a payphone, remember those?
From another life
If everything I meant to you
You can lick and seal and fold in two
Then I’ve been so blind

Respectfully, so honestly
I’m calling out
Do you hear the conversations
We talk about?
Or back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there’s half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine we show it
Off

Oh, oh, take it all back
Take your first, your last, your only
Oh, oh, take it all back, take it all back
Everything you showed me
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels
When the feeling goes

I told you, as I haven’t, I’ve never felt this way
You said I have the shot that stops my clock
Baby it’s okay
You said you’d never have regrets
Jesus, is there someone yet
Who got that wish?
Did you get yours, babe?

Respectfully, so honestly
I’m calling out
Do you hear the conversations
We talk about?
Or back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there’s half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine we show it
Off
