We let these songs get the best of us
It seemed like a good time to see if we'll turn out okay
Something to save
Somehow we could break away
Taking the time never seemed so hard
When we were younger and careless
No, time wouldn't test us
We were different and could have been wrong
Looking back is easy when you know what you could have become
This is the time and the place if we make it
I'm giving you all I can offer
But the waiting's killed me up until now
This is the first and the last time I'll ask you
We'll make the most of these moments
So I won't be left here wondering again
We wanted more than you were willing to give
You thought if we could just take it then you'd know we'd made it
Twelve months is a long time to wait
The only way that this works is if we go right back to the start
Through every fight, missed chance and indecision I feel like we've risen
Take this moment, it's our time to own it
Close your eyes to the lights, take the stage and you'll see
This is the time and the place if we make it
I'm giving you all I can offer
But the waiting's killed me up until now
This is the first and the last time I'll ask you
We'll make the most of these moments
So I won't be left here wondering again
I know you miss this
While you ask for more distance
I can't say I wouldn't do the same
This is the time and the place if we make it
I'm giving you all I can offer
But the waiting's killed me up until now
This is the first and the last time I'll ask you
We'll make the most of these moments
So I won't be left here wondering again
This is the time and the place if we make it
Close your eyes and just reach out and take it
This is the time and the place if we make it
(I know you miss this
While you ask for more distance
I can't say I wouldn't do the same)
