"5 Minutes" lyrics

You never took me to the palisades
But you'd kiss me enough just to satiate
You kinda taste like lemonade
Where the sweet turns into a bitter aftertaste

I went deeper in the water
While you feet were getting colder
I just wish you'd told me sooner
You've never been good at that
You never took me to the palisades
And I hate that I'd still take you back

Now I have to miss you
Longer than I've known you

One last night and we both know it's ending
'Coz we're too far gone in a game no one's winning
Three strikes out and were at the final inning
Tell me what I'm crying for
You said if I we'd met in 5 years
Maybe things would be different
While I'm begging God for five more minutes

I never met your mom I bet she's nice
Never got to kiss you underneath Chicago lights
Had the right kind of love at the wrong time
We could've been good if you would've tried

Now I have to lose you
But I don't know how to

One last night and we both know it's ending
'Coz we're too far gone in a game no one's winning
Three strikes out and were at the final inning
Tell me what I'm crying for
You said if I we'd met in 5 years
Maybe things would be different
While I'm begging God for five more minutes

Five more minutes
Oh please God
Just five more

I went deeper in the water
While you feet were getting colder
I just wish you'd told me sooner

Five more minutes

I went deeper in the water
While you feet were getting colder
I just wish you'd told me sooner

You said if I we'd met in 5 years
Maybe things would be different
While I'm begging God for five more minutes
