Lyrics
I?m too tired to beg again
Go on, say something
You wait so the light might change and then
We?ll be back to running
From place to place until night
Might hold you up for a minute
I can?t keep up with your life
CHORUS:
Slow down for me
And let?s go back to the daylong day
We?re always tearing around packing five days into one
Stash the keys, lay with me for a daylong day
I want the feeling that one is one again
I want the feeling that I?m the one again
The nightlight can?t give me the sight of you
I only catch your shadow
You pause, like you might come into view
But then it?s back off to battle
You?re blazing by like a star
And I?m fading out like the tail
I can?t keep reaching that far
CHORUS
Do you remember back to when
Saturdays began sometime after noon, or later?
Now I never hear ?Wake up, lover?
It?s ?I?ll be home soon. Here?s a list of things to do.?
There?s no time we can put away
It?s only ours to lose
So I know I won?t regret it when I say
The time is now to choose
You?re blazing by like a star
And I?m fading out like the tail
You?re not who I know that you are
