Time Is Not On Our Side

[Verse 1]

You’re getting better, better

At guessing letters, letters

I'm writing with my fingers now

And we’re just watching, watching

Dust on the curtain, curtain

Illuminated, falling down

[Pre-Chorus]

Now we've got the doors closed and you're telling me

You are mine and you’ll go anywhere with me

Tell me, can we stay right here and never leave?

I could go on and on

But time is not on our side

[Chorus]

Waiting for the light night after night, night after night and I know

I will slip away day after day, day after day 'til we're old

All I wanna do is lie next to you, lie next to you and stay close (Oh-oh)

But time is not on our side

Looking in your eyes night after night, night after night and I see

Where I gotta stay day after day, day after day to find peace

All I gotta do is lie next to you, lie next to you and just breathe (Oh-oh)

But time is not on our side

[Verse 2]

We never wake up, wake up

We only stay up, stay up

And let the seconds chase us down

But we're learning, learning

Nothing's certain, certain

So can we stop the clock for now?

[Pre-Chorus]

Now we've got the doors closed and you're telling me

You are mine and you’ll go anywhere with me

Tell me, can we stay right here and never leave?

I could go on and on

But time is not on our side

[Chorus]

Waiting for the light night after night, night after night and I know

I will slip away day after day, day after day 'til we're old

All I wanna do is lie next to you, lie next to you and stay close (Oh-oh)

But time is not on our side

Looking in your eyes night after night, night after night and I see

Where I gotta stay day after day, day after day to find peace

All I gotta do is lie next to you, lie next to you and just breathe (Oh-oh)

But time is not on our side

[Bridge]

Oh, no

Time is not on our side (Hey, hey)

I could go on and on

But time is not on our side

[Chorus]

Waiting for the light night after night, night after night and I know

I will slip away day after day, day after day 'til we're old

All I wanna do is lie next to you, lie next to you and stay close (Oh-oh)

But time is not on our side

Looking in your eyes night after night, night after night and I see

Where I gotta stay day after day, day after day to find peace

All I gotta do is lie next to you, lie next to you and just breathe (Oh-oh)

But time is not on our side

[Outro]

'Cause time is not on our side
