"Lost Time (extended)" lyrics
The sky is grey, the trees are pink
It's almost spring and I can't wait, and I can't think
The sidewalks paved with petals like a wedding aisle
I wonder how long it would take to walk 800 miles
To say I do, I did, I will, I would
I'm not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good
But I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Wish you were here, wish I was there
I wish that we could have a place that we could share
Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls
Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls
But I will, I would, I did, I do
For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Nothing lasts forever, but let's see how far we get
So when it comes my turn to lose you, I'll have made the most of it
Our formal attire on the floor in a pile
In the morning, I will fold it while you get ready for work
I hear you singing in the shower, it's a song I showed you years ago
It's nice to know you listen to it after all this time
I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60-day chip
And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket
And the photo that you framed from when you were a kid
To remember where you came from, as if you could forget
And your hand-me-down pick up, put a girl on the dash
Tape on the bumper, more than one crash
It's always an accident, it could always be worse
Scars healing over, but the memory hurts
And I trace them with my finger, touch them with my mouth
Then the lines around your eyes, the furrow in your brow
Your face is a language, I'm fluent by now
You can tell me the whole story without saying it out loud
I notice everything about you, I can't help it
It's not a choice, it's been this way since we met
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say
Is a crying shame, it's a crime
A waste of space, lost time
It's almost spring and I can't wait, and I can't think
The sidewalks paved with petals like a wedding aisle
I wonder how long it would take to walk 800 miles
To say I do, I did, I will, I would
I'm not sorry, not certain, not perfect, not good
But I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Wish you were here, wish I was there
I wish that we could have a place that we could share
Not only stolen moments in abandoned halls
Quiet touch in elevators and bathroom stalls
But I will, I would, I did, I do
For the thrill, for my health, for myself, for you
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say is lost time
Now I'm knockin' down your door
'Cause I'm trying to make up for lost time
Nothing lasts forever, but let's see how far we get
So when it comes my turn to lose you, I'll have made the most of it
Our formal attire on the floor in a pile
In the morning, I will fold it while you get ready for work
I hear you singing in the shower, it's a song I showed you years ago
It's nice to know you listen to it after all this time
I put your clothes on the dresser with your 60-day chip
And your broken gold chain, your unpaid parking ticket
And the photo that you framed from when you were a kid
To remember where you came from, as if you could forget
And your hand-me-down pick up, put a girl on the dash
Tape on the bumper, more than one crash
It's always an accident, it could always be worse
Scars healing over, but the memory hurts
And I trace them with my finger, touch them with my mouth
Then the lines around your eyes, the furrow in your brow

It's not a choice, it's been this way since we met
'Cause I love you, and every day
That I knew and didn't say
Is a crying shame, it's a crime
A waste of space, lost time
