Lyrics

Run-Time

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Sparks might fly, in no time

It’s a delayed reaction of the third kind. (ooh)

I’m so ready for this

Shrink-wrapped tones, I can face the music

Stop matters bonding us way beyond

Our best by-days

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad, so no hard feelings

We've done all we could and all again. I’m done pretending

Let’s quit while we’re still friends

Making up stories that grew to be too tall

My fortress to forget couldn't take anymore

You nearly watched me ruin everything, everything!

There’s a number one rule of don’t-do’s

Well we knew it all too well

You were supposed to be looking out for me!

Have you any idea how difficult it’s been?

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad, so no hard feelings

We've done all we could, and all again. Let’s save ourselves a sorry ending

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad, but this is as far as we can stretch

Let’s stop pretending, stop pretending

And quit while we’re still friends

Well I was so young, misguided maybe

But still this hands over my every pen to paper

And this all started with a song

Let this be our last one

Drop, drop. Bridge, bridge!

We've had it good, we've had it bad, but this is as far as we can stretch

Stop pretending!

And quit while we’re still friends

I wish you well

I wish you well (I wish you well, wish you well, wish you well)

Wish you well, I wish you well, I won’t tell if you won’t tell

I won’t hold it against you if you bow out gracefully (gracefully)

Can we just not drag this out, please?

I wish you well, I wish you well, I won’t tell if you won’t tell

I won’t hold it against you if you bow out gracefully (do it gracefully!)

Can we just not drag this out?
