Now the time has elapsed 

It inevitably has come to pass 

That I write for you at last 

A song, a rhyme 

Oh, to tell you the truth of it 

I'm a little confused myself 

Is it through memory's rose-tinted glass 

I have come to ask 

Or is it a love that was meant to last 

Through time itself



Proving us wrong all along 

Shouldn't we be holding on

It's a silly thing really 

That you shouldn't believe in 

Nothing too complicated 

Endlessly formulated 

Foolish romantic ideals of love 



Could there be such a thing

How could there be such a thing

As beautifully flawed

We'll make mistakes and then 

Life is the art of learning to live with it 

Through time 



But you knew it 

All along 

You who are wiser than I 

See it coming 

See it coming 

See it coming 

Every time 



How did you predict 

The end of the world 

When you can't see beyond 

The end of your nose 

Would you look at the life I chose

Baby it's you I need to tell it to 

Maybe no other will ever do 

Through time 



Shouldn't we be holding on

Maybe no other will ever do

Maybe no other will ever do



Shouldn't we be holding on

Maybe no other will ever do

Maybe no other will ever do



Shouldn't we be holding on

Maybe no other will ever do

Maybe no other will ever do



Shouldn't we be holding on

Maybe no other will ever do

Maybe no other will ever do



Proving us wrong all along 



Ideals of love 

Foolish romantic

Ideals of love 



Could there be such a thing

How could there be such a thing

As beautifully flawed

Ideals of love
