Lost Time (Extended)

[Verse 1]

The sky is gray, the trees are pink

It's almost spring and I can't wait and I can't think

The sidewalk's paved with petals like a wedding aisle

I wonder how long it would take to walk eight hundred miles

[Pre-Chorus]

To say I do, I did, I will, I would

I'm not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good

[Chorus]

But I love you, and every day

That I knew and didn't say

Is lost time

Now I'm knocking down your door

'Cause I'm trying to make up for

Lost time

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

But I will, I would, I did, I do

For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you

[Chorus]

'Cause I love you, and every day

That I knew and didn't say

Is lost time

Now I'm knocking down your door

'Cause I'm trying to make up for

Lost time

[Post-Chorus]

Nothing lasts forever, but let's see how far we get

So when it comes my turn to lose you

I'll have made the most of it

[Bridge]

Our formal attire on the floor

In a pile in the morning

I will fold it while you get ready for work

I hear you singing in the shower

It's the 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 pickup, hula girl on the dash

Tape on the bumper, more than one crash

And it’s always an accident and 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

[Outro]

'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
