Lyrics
Listen to the wind blow
rain against the window
Like the tick tock tick of the seconds
and minutes
and hours
Never heard it so slow
Never felt it so hard
Never looked behind me
Talking about so far
But I wish I could sing an old song
Wish I could lay you down
Wish I could wish it how it was
But the coldest part of a closing heart
Is unmaking …
I can see us falling
Into the familiar
Just another passing fashion
we tried on
We was less than we knew
You was never all you
And I was always searching for stations
to turn to
But I wish I could sing an old song
Wish I could lay you down
Wish we could wish it how it was
But the coldest part of a closing heart
Is unmaking …
After all the whispered calls the late night
fights in hotel halls
Are done and long behind me
After all the mess we left
The break-up texts
The make up sex
We go a little bit crazy
After all the rain that falls
The wind that whips me like the alcohol
That blinds me
I wish we could sing an old song
Wish I could lay you down
Wish we could wish it how it was
But the coldest part of a closing heart
The hardest part of the softest start
The cruelest trick of the human heart
Is unmaking love.
