Landslide

Dream on, man, that’s what you told me

When I said I loved you in that park inside the city

You said: I don’t mind if we take our time

But you know I’m not one to take chances

So I wrapped it up & set it down again

And I said: I can’t help it; it’s the way that I’ve been feeling

So I stood by your side with my hands in my pockets

Wishing I’d never said anything at all

But it’s alright

It’s okay

When the cold wind blows you know you’re gonna weather it away

I guess in time, it’ll work out just fine

I just hope you’re waiting for me when I cross the finish line

I spend most evenings here pretending

That you’ll hear the little hints I drop in conversation

And I pray some nights that they don’t put you off me

Each and every good time happens over coffee with you

But I’m near exhausted from this running

And in the distance I see the ending line approaching

So I shut my eyes, clutch my alibis

While I hope you’re there waiting in the distance

The critics are calling it a landslide

A standing ovation for first time in a long time

When I closed my eyes and your lips met mine

And we talked about trading this future for our past
