"Ever Making Up Time" lyrics

I never planned on all those years
The constant taste of my own tears
The million kisses goodbye, dear
The dream that seemed so urgent then
Became the nightmare I lived in
I pray you'll never know how sad it's been

But I'll be yours, ever making up time
I'll be yours, ever making up time
I hang my life on a long-gone crime
Still I'll be yours, ever making up time

So many rhymes I wrote for you
Too many tunes that broke in two
Too busy in denial to follow through
Looking back it's clear I paid that wage
God knows you've long-since turned that page
But it breaks my heart up in a way
Oh, and it will for all my days

Still I'll be yours, ever making up time
I'll be yours, ever making up time
I hang my life on a long-gone crime
Still I'll be yours, ever making up time

So many rhymes I wrote for you
Too many tunes that broke in two
Too busy in denial to follow through
Looking back it's clear I paid that wage
God knows you've long-since turned that page
But it breaks my heart up in a way
Oh, and it will for all my days

(Time) some of us walk through life slow tired
(Time) it's all in how each one is wired
(Time) you miss the love that might surround you
(Time) please don't buy into that deal
(Time) the piece they write off can't be real
(Time) you just take it for your own

Still I'll be yours, ever making up time
I'll be yours, ever making up time
I hang my life on a long-gone crime
Still I'll be yours, ever making up time
I'll be yours, ever making up time
I'll be yours, ever making up time
I hang my life on a long-gone crime
Still I'll be yours, ever making up time

Ever making up time
Ever making up time
