Say the mile we just ran stretches another 55 Say it turns out I can't go with you all the way to the other side What'll happen when it doesn't work out The way that you had it all planned? What'll happen if I take my own time And you still don't understand? In the days passing through My lover called, said I'm here to stay Down at the shoreline We said we'd find another way In the street-lamps it's appearing, sky's mercury blue You're flying closer towards me in the heat of the moon Got a lapse of judgement with the waves all tumbling through With the houses and the windows in your eyes meeting me, washed anew In the days passing through My lover called, said I'm here to stay Down at the shoreline We said we'll find another way It's hard to say where we'll be a year from now I know we'll try but I think we'll still fail somehow We're just trying to be better people I don't think I'm a better person I don't think I'm a better person with or without you around In the days passing through My lover called, said I'm here to stay Down at the shoreline We said we'll find another way In the days passing through (I don't think I'm a better person) My lover called, Said I'm here to stay (I don't think I'm a better person) Down at the shoreline (I don't think I'm a better person) We said we'll find another way (with or without you)
