Paroles de Lost Time (extended)
The sky is grey, the trees are pinkIt's almost spring and I can't wait, and I can't think
The sidewalks paved with petals like a wedding aisle
I wonder how long it would take to walk 800 miles
To say I do, I did, I will, I would
I'm not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good
But I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Wish you were here, wish I was there
I wish that we could have a place that we could share
Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls
Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls
But I will, I would, I did, I do
For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
In the morning, I will fold it while you get ready for work
I hear you singing in the shower, it's a song I showed you years ago
It's nice to know you listen to it after all this time
I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60-day chip
And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket
And the photo that you framed from when you were a kid
To remember where you came from, as if you could forget
And your hand-me-down pick up, put a girl on the dash
Tape on the bumper, more than one crash
It's always an accident, it could always be worse
Scars healing over, but the memory hurts
And I trace them with my finger, touch them with my mouth
Then the lines around your eyes, the furrow in your brow
Your face is a language, I'm fluent by now
You can tell me the whole story without saying it out loud
I notice everything about you, I can't help it
It's not a choice, it's been this way since we met
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say
Is a crying shame, it's a crime
A waste of space, lost time
But I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Wish you were here, wish I was there
I wish that we could have a place that we could share
Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls
Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls
But I will, I would, I did, I do
For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
In the morning, I will fold it while you get ready for work
I hear you singing in the shower, it's a song I showed you years ago
It's nice to know you listen to it after all this time
I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60-day chip
And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket
And the photo that you framed from when you were a kid
To remember where you came from, as if you could forget
And your hand-me-down pick up, put a girl on the dash
Tape on the bumper, more than one crash
It's always an accident, it could always be worse
Scars healing over, but the memory hurts
And I trace them with my finger, touch them with my mouth
Then the lines around your eyes, the furrow in your brow
Your face is a language, I'm fluent by now
You can tell me the whole story without saying it out loud
I notice everything about you, I can't help it
It's not a choice, it's been this way since we met
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say
Is a crying shame, it's a crime
A waste of space, lost time
