lyrics

Oh you leave me breathless
Punch-drunk love, gone in the blink of an eye
So hard-wired and restless
And all that's left is too much time

To sit and ruminate
Wile away the day
Love will have to wait
Here is where I'll stay

Driving home from Texas
Thinking 'bout my love, who it'll be
When the world is full of almosts
It's hard to find the one who won't be

Sit and ruminate
Wile away the day
Love will have to wait
Here is where I'll stay

Brad: Maybe one day
My lost loves won't be
Lonesome songs I still sing for ab
At long last, progress
Incompletely
Sleep now, close your eyes, you're dreaming

Kaitlyn: With no change of pace
What will maintain
Keep safe, save face... or stray
Time lapse, ships pass
Sail on, look back
Mind over what matters for awhile

If I never see I become we, these words belong to you...
Oh you leave me breathless
