Tired sheets and wrinkled eyes
Practicing your alibis
Time is up and out you go
Back to that familiar show
Trace your steps through
Rushing crowds
Every thought you have is too loud
A girl is pacing
Empty rooms
Thinking about the time you counted clouds
Every second Wednesday afternoon
You work late
Well at least that’s what you tell her
Now and then you try but it’s too soon
You can’t find the words
To let her know
Through the door and up the stairs
Such a simple affair
She shies away from your embrace
As she stands there with her back turned
She stands there with her back turned
Time to set it straight
Now is still too late
You fell in love
You’re going to leave her
How can you pretend to want
To stay until the end
When you’re already gone
You’re already gone
Don’t you think it’s time you move on?
Time is up so out you go
To catch that last remaining show
And every reason stays the same
Who’s to know if she’s glad you came
