"Buying Time" lyrics

When do you say goodbye to something that meant so much?
How long do lovers try, 'til they give in and just give up?
I don't wanna be the first, but I know what we need to say
It's right on the tip of our tongues, 'til we kiss it away

We know what's in the cards, something's gonna break
The letting go gets harder, babe, the longer that we wait
I wish love could be enough to keep livin' a lie
But let's not talk about it now, if only for tonight
It don't matter what it costs
Let's keep buying time
Buying time

Poor us a little wine, leave all the lights down low
Let's hold on a little longer, like we don't know

But we know what's in the cards, something's gonna break
The letting go gets harder, babe, the longer that we wait
I wish love could be enough to keep livin' a lie
But let's not talk about it now, if only for tonight
It don't matter what it costs, let's keep buying time

Take me by the hand
Let's slow it down, with a slow dance
Hold on, long as we can

But we know what's in the cards, something's gonna break
The letting go gets harder, babe, the longer that we wait
I wish love could be enough to keep livin' a lie
But let's not talk about it now, if only for tonight
It don't matter what it costs
Let's keep buying time
Buying time

Buying time
Let's keep buying time
