Take a seat and catch your breath

You're only working towards your death

For us the days go by oh so slow

But your blonde hair and gaping eyes

Sent tingles down my nervous spine

And now the days go by oh so slow



I am yours if you want it

I could be yours to spend your life with

We'll hide indoors, petrified of the world



And if you'd rather stay in at night

I can relate to that

And if it feels like your heart's dried up

I can relate to that

And if you need someone at your side

I am out there



In the grass at Union Square

I touched your face, pushed back your hair

And said the days go by oh so slow

And in a room, upon your bed

We tangled arms and crossed our legs

When you sleep alone, the days go oh so slow
