I'll save this for late night

A cup of coffee and a long walk through the park

Down from this rooftop

I see the pond and the great lawn through the dark

Just when should I tell you

That's always been the toughest part

I know how it ends but not how it starts



So this is how I choose to bring this around

That's all for now

I'm running out of time

Just tell me how to make this right

Because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

(I'm running out of ways to make you mine)

Recounting all the lines

I'd give to your expectant eyes

But I failed to see the signs



It's not the first time that my thoughts would get the best of me

So I'll keep to myself

And just keep on thinking wishfully

I know that this won't help

I need to say this to your face

We both know this talk won't take place



So this is how I choose to bring this around

That's all for now

I'm running out of time

Just tell me how to make this right

Because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

(I'm running out of ways to make you mine)

Recounting all the lines

I'd give to your expectant eyes

But I failed to see the signs



Don't bother to tell me

This time I can see in your eyes

That I'm caught in between perfect lies and an impossible dream



I'm running out of time

Just tell me how to make this right

Because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

(I'm running out of ways to make you mine)

Recounting all the lines

I'd give to your expectant eyes

But I failed to see the signs
