Lyrics

[00:17.40] I said, "Everybody's headed out to La
[00:20.87] But I hate to see you suffer
[00:23.46] You love New York in the summer."
[00:26.57] So let's gather up the pieces of this broken wilted thing
[00:30.72] It's worth the struggle
[00:32.55] I just ache to touch you
[00:35.41] I've always wanted you too close
[00:41.56] And I said why, why, why is it hard to sleep without you?
[00:46.58] Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it
[00:50.94] We won't survive on this borrowed time
[00:53.40] I don't know why you'd wanna try
[00:55.05] I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?"
[01:03.80] I catch a glimpse of fingernails with cracked pink polish tapping out a rhythm
[01:09.41] I'm just wondering what you're thinking
[01:12.79] There's a faded photograph of someone else you used to love can't stop from wishing
[01:18.85] That you'd just forget him
[01:21.35] I've always wanted you too close
[01:27.66] And I said why, why, why is it hard to sleep without you?
[01:32.88] Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it
[01:37.07] We won't survive on this borrowed time
[01:39.52] I don't know why you'd wanna try
[01:41.48] And I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?"
[01:49.24] On these white lies
[01:54.79] I remember the night, the hotel bed
[01:56.98] You cried out loud.
[01:58.16] You were still in love with me
[02:03.49] Through time and space, oh, everything
[02:05.80] You've wasted all your precious dreams and faith
[02:09.97] It seems needless crying...
[02:16.17] And I said why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
[02:21.31] Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it
[02:25.67] We won't survive on this borrowed time
[02:28.15] I don't know why you'd wanna try
[02:30.08] I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time?"
[02:33.99] And I said why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
[02:38.87] Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it
[02:43.28] We won't survive on this borrowed time
[02:45.51] I don't know why you'd wanna try
[02:47.57] And I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?"
[02:55.47] On these white lies
