lyrics

Join me closer, I don’t care about ‘em
It could be a sweet world
If you could stop your looking, say
(Why are you still afraid)
But I’ve been trying so hard

Just trying to get into your circle
Open my head and edge your chest open
(Is that a heart)
It’s my way in
Am I being too emotional

You told me that things’ll be fine
All it’s gonna take is a little bit of time, well hey
(Look at the clock)
It’s been a little while now

All I wanted was a strong kinda love
But it fell through when push came to shove, yeah
(Why can’t you do this for me)

That’s what I get
For believing
(That’s what I get for believing that it ain’t true)
Oh that’s what I get
For believing in you

It’s just a matter of time
For you and I
To realize, we got nothing left to hold together now
It’s just a matter of time
Gotta look out for mine
Sometimes that means leaving it all behind

You keep me young babe, cryingIt’s what we had
It’s what I’m needing
(What do you do when a love affair is over)
Oh that's what we had
It’s up and leaving
on my shoulder
Even when I was young, wished that I was older
(Might wanna watch the skies)
Yeah if you’re looking for a full moon

I can’t help with your vain resurrection
You can’t breathe life into my dead affection
(Wish that I could bring it back)
Oh, oh

I used to wish on a cosmic star
Hoping I could sleep if I landed where you are now
(You’re never in my dreams)
Yeah I wanted it all better but

Distance don’t make the heart grow fonder
When we meet up, we’re still left to wonder
(When’s this gonna end
Kissing like it’s alright, playing pretend)

It’s just a matter of time
For you and I
To realize, we got nothing left to hold together now
It’s just a matter of time
Gotta look out for mine
Sometimes that means leaving it all behind
