Three Minutes More

So long I was luckless in love
Lockets holding memories of
A radio repeating hooks of my own
Cocktails and crushes and sleeping alone
I tried to thicken my skin
Hold tight, take refuge within
It's different this time looking up at this sky
Three minutes more might just save me this time

With a chip on both shoulders, it's tough
What's your talent? Mine's calling a bluff
Empty words full of glorious gifts
Never came, never showed, so I quit
Sifting through all the locks and the keys
Thought I was solving life's mysteries
Used to lean on a crutch of desire
Speaking truth with the tongue of a liar

Now I see a different exposure
How, it's like it never was over
I will wait for three minutes more if it's real

So long I was luckless in love
Lockets holding memories of
A radio repeating hooks of my own
Cocktails and crushes and sleeping alone
I tried to thicken my skin
Hold tight, take refuge within
It's different this time looking up at this sky
Three minutes more might just save me this time

Once a jet setter, red letter kid
Everyone come and see what I did
All the missteps I made left my heart
With a mark, mission, brand, and a scar
Now that age is a number indeed
Maybe this time I'll dream thinking free
Overgrown overpasses remain
Blow it up, burn it down, be the change

I will wait for three minutes more if it's real

So long I was luckless in love
Lockets holding memories of
A radio repeating hooks of my own
Cocktails and crushes and sleeping alone
I tried to thicken my skin
Hold tight, take refuge within
It's different this time looking up at this sky
Three minutes more might just save me this time
