lyrics

You wandered in to where I work
You came in off the street
I stared until I turned and blushed
You turned and took your seat
I waited til I took too long
And then we lost four years
You wandered in to where I work
You knew you'd see me here

I sort of met your sister once
But she forgot my name
And I took you to New York too
But to you it's all the same
I understand your body
That don't mean I get your heart
Cause a bird in hand is a burdened hand
When it leaves before it starts

It feels like our time together came and went
And you're a lot more certain of someone you've never met
I guess you need some time, it's hard to kick the habit
Making revisions of childhood decisions of dreams you won't forget

You always said it couldn't work
That it would get too hard
That I get lost in temporal things
And you're this close to God
And when your walls come closing in
You feel under attack
For every time you let me go
You let me come right back

The restaurant always stays the same
We could go somewhere else
I love it when they know our name
But it's not a sense of self
What do you make of this version of us
I take what I can get
You always make quick work of me
But you don't break a sweat

It feels like our time together came and went
And you're a lot more certain of someone you've never met
I guess you need some time, it's hard to kick the habit
Making revisions of childhood decisions of dreams you won't forget
