Lyrics

Temporary

[Verse 1]

So I've lost my way

Looking for a sign

Watch it slip away

The mystery of time

But now the quiet hours, stay a littler a longer

Til the darker days come and go again when they say

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ll be fine again

Please, just

[Chorus]

Tell me it's only temporary

When I'm here feeling ordinary, no

Don’t try and hold me, if you're gonna hold me back

Just tell me it's only temporary

[Verse 2]

So I've changed my mind

See it differently

On the other side

You're not listening to me

'Cause when the ropes all break

Nothing's gonna catch

With my hands untied

Is anything the same? just

[Chorus]

Tell me it's only temporary

When I’m here feeling ordinary, no

Don’t try and hold me, if you're gonna hold me back

Just tell me it’s only temporary

[Bridge]

All the water is running

All the water is running

All the water is running out

Do you see that it's coming?

Do you see that it's coming?

Do you see that it's coming now?

Just

[Chorus]

Tell me it’s only temporary

When I'm here feeling ordinary, no

Don't try and hold me, if you're gonna hold me back

Just tell me it's only temporary
