Lyrics
You leave a bitter taste with the words that you say. But I still find myself wishing you would stay. The clock is ticking loud in an empty room. Waiting for the sun to chase away the gloom. You pack your bags but you're moving so slow. Like a part of you doesn't really want to go. We build a wall then we tear it right down. The loneliest couple in this whole damn town. Before the shadows swallow up the light. Before we say goodbye into the night. Just give me one more second of your time. And let the melody and memory rhyme. Hold close, don't you let it slip away. Just hold close, even if it's for a day. The world is cold when we are far apart. So hold close to the beating of my heart. La la la la, don't walk out the door. La la la la, I need you so much more. Just like a ghost, you're fading into grey. So hold close, don't you look away. I write a melody that's heavy with regret. The kind of sorrow that you never can forget. A little acoustic guitar playing in the dark. Trying to rekindle a forgotten little spark. You say it's broken and it's too late to fix. Getting all our feelings and our promises mixed. But when you look at me I see the old flame. Whispering the letters of my secret name. Before the shadows swallow up the light. Before we say goodbye into the night. Just give me one more second of your time. And let the melody and memory rhyme. Hold close, don't you let it slip away. Just hold close, even if it's for a day. The world is cold when we are far apart. So hold close to the beating of my heart. La la la la, don't walk out the door. La la la la, I need you so much more. Just like a ghost, you're fading into grey. So hold close, don't you look away. La la la la, let the music play. La la la la, wash the pain away. Even if it hurts, even if it's wrong. Hold close to the rhythm of this song.
