The drought runs dry in the western sky as your world begins today
The sun climbs over the powerlines, yet you feel a little grey
It seems like only yesterday you were on another shore
But with all those times we felt so right
You knew we'd never be more than what we were
So you unpack your bags and you move in your things
Ignoring the cold that the winters gonna bring
When you hear my name for the very first time
Since we moved on, or so we've tried
From that summertime in the city lights
When the thought of an end wasn't on my mind
When the world was a mile and three blocks wide
It was just a matter of time before we were
Cause sometimes love's only temporary
And all we've got is a ticking clock in the back of our head's
But that don't mean that we don't carry on
At least til the sun breaks the dawn
Black and white of morning light, my thoughts become more clear
There's no sense of wanting for the past if you're there and I'm stuck here
But it sure feels nice to know that I had someone for that time
And though in the end you'll say we're friends
We'll never be quite like we were before
Cause sometimes love's only temporary
And all we've got is a ticking clock in the back of our head's
But that don't mean that we don't carry on
At least til the sun breaks the dawn
♪
I hope you find your happiness in footsteps at your door
And I hope you find a love in life that you've never felt before
When Sacramento calls your name, won't you look back on the past
And remember the starry-eyed dreamer
And I promise that's not the last you'll see of me
Cause sometimes love's only temporary
And all we've got is a ticking clock in the back of our head's
But that don't mean that we don't carry on
At least til the sun breaks the dawn
