Time Was Meant To Stay

It was two in the morning
Ten words, one text:
"When you have a moment
Cause I am feeling so bad"

"Yeah I will hit you back soon"
Is the only thing I sent to you
It's simple when you put it into words: no
I wasn't there when you were hurt

But I know when the night is long you feel like you can't go
On with the charade, the day to day gets bleak
Watch the bodies all around you fall like snow
But I'm standing here today babe, yeah you know that you gotta stay

Yeah, if the time is the word we use to name this strife
Of the world killing itself to somehow stay alive
Tell me how in the turmoil of this endless fight
Do you always recognize me?

It was two in the morning
My room in Manhattan
You and I are talking
Of course, as always, we're laughing

This love that we share is so true
There's no more doubt baby boy 'cuz we're proof
Of something special and so magic and so perf
Alive with you now here on this earth

But I know when the night is long you feel like you can't go
On with the charade, the day to day gets bleak
Watch the bodies all around you fall like snow
But I'm standing here today babe, yea you know that you gotta stay
