Baby, it's our hearts' slow beating

That make us grow old

I mean to say there's no one helping

We're digging our own hole

I'm reading your words

They're scrawled on the page

They lay here in silent rage

I'll hold you to this for as long as I breathe

Much more than whispers

If I ever found a one leaf clover

It would be you

Wishing that such heights were lower

And nothing is new

Citing your verse

It couldn't sound worse

The black recital I did rehearse

We all die alone as I'm clenching this phone

I can't imagine a slowing hearse

How many times will I play the hero

How many lies before it's true

How many times will we clock out at zero

How many tries before we're through

How many lives 'til another you

The scars are slowly healing

The lips have regained feeling

The obstacles are kneeling

The final wax is sealing

The great white ships are sailing

The feet have left their railing

The four last hooves are hailing

How many times will I play the hero

How many lies before it's true

How many times will we clock out at zero

How many tries before we're through

How many lives 'till another you
