Once I could have stayed here, but your sadness lead to nowhere.
But I guess you've earned those tears and who more to leave them here.
Your hate draped like a curtain, hanging on my arm chair
But I guess you've earned that hate and who more to play it fair.

You say you'll be there if I'm nowhere.

La la la la we've long beaten love, long beaten love.
La la la la la I can't hold a second time my total time is up.

Holding up the traffic and singing through the school yard.
It was stalling traffic that lead us through the dark.
I said that it was urgent and told you not to stay here.
You could have stayed out and left before you ever cared.

You say you'll be there if I'm nowhere.

La la la la we've long beaten love, long beaten love.
La la la la la I can't hold a second time my total time is up.
