the heart, it overflows
stand by my lady, by my man
the heart, her courage grows
yet i'm terrified to overstay my welcome
his love, it comes and goes
treading lightly on its toes
he vows not to overstay his welcome
waves me over, shallowly to breath no longer
through my fingers, there he goes
like the rest of time to pass
since i've come and gone again
fall has seemed to slip my grasp
and as the moon has come and gone
though close at heart, he's gone along
it's how the story carries on
if our story carries on
waves me over, shallowly to breath no longer
waves me over, shallowly to breath no longer
not mine to take, to have, to hold
but my dear, you know you know
oh my dear, you know i know

i've no room in my heart for you
nor space to miss you when you're gone
call me cruel, but the joke's on you
see me laughing
oh who am i
given my tendency to fly
you'd think these wings and i would have a clue
not today, soiled, faded gray
if they were white what would you have me do
oh take them, good for you
patch me up and then
see what rots and when
start again at zero, maybe one
oh you'd have all the fun
something isn't at home
and everything is fuzzy
something isn't at home
yea, i'm feeling that these days
and oh, how quickly these things change
there's such romance in the air
but i'm not showing up for you
all this romance in the air
yea, you're not the right mistake
oh i'm not yours to take
please don't stare into my eyes
i have nothing for you there

i don't think i'm gonna wait for you
it's not time for me to say what's true
but if someday a shining-armored ride
you took to me, well i would be your bride
la la la la
la la la la
la la la la la
and when the days of laying on the line
have come and gone to rule another's mind
as birds in time must need a place to land
if open i'd rest in the palm of your hand
you'll walk in with me
i'll walk out with you
when there is the time
if there is the time

once he was, and as he said: longing just to breathe
laid awake, the sun to break would end his misery
would it all just pass him by, would it pass him by?
scrape the paint, patch the door
what is all this fighting for?
leave at six to tuck him in
oh, the car still smells like him
will it all just pass her by, will it pass her by?
will it all just pass her by, will it pass her by?
when at last the war is won
what does it mean to get things done?
stories told, worries none
oh you were a loving son
how you were a loving one
will it all just pass him by, will it pass him by?
will it all just pass him by, will it pass him by?
oh this room, it smells like you
rest your eyes in gold and blue
