You close your eyes and kiss your hand
And you blow it.
But it isn't meant for me,
And I know this.
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?

Time never had a chance to heal your heart.
Just a number always counting down to a new start.
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?

Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment,
When your eyes meet mine we'll show it

All talk and not a lot to think
We were living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.

I tried,
But it rang and rang
I called all night
On a pay phone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind.

Respectfully, so honestly I'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment,
When your eyes meet mine we'll show it.

Oh, oh take it all back, take your first, your last, your only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh, this must be how it feels when the feeling goes

I told you as I hovered I'd never felt this way
You said "I have this shot that stops my clock, baby it's okay"
You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus! Is there someone yet who got that wish?
Did you get yours? Babe?

Respectfully, so honestly i'm asking now
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment,
When your eyes meet mine we'll show it.
