Ive got the world crashing down, down around my feet
Ive got the world crashing down, down around my feet
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Before you take me home, there's just a few things i wanted you to know.
Take a deep breath, its been an hour,
And we've been walking for a million miles tonight,
dont fight the things i know you want to say to me.
So please, dont make it harder than it has to be
Dont make it harder than it has to be
Dont make it harder than it has to be
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Time is only temporary, this will not last forever
Before you take me home, please don't tell me what i don't wanna know.
Wipe your eyes dry, you'll see clearer.
The end of this is coming close to us, dont rush,
I've heard that line a million times from you and its true, the midnight
sky is another shade of blue. the midnight
sky is another shade of blue.the midnight
sky is another shade of...
My heart is yours for the taking,
My heart is yours for the taking...for the taking.
The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet, and the wish for your applause is taking over me
The world is falling like a final curtain to my feet, and the wish for your applause is taking over me
