This Time

Watching the clock
Running the day down
Turning it off

Stay in one spot
Eat when you're hungry
You live in the dark

What time'd you hit the hay last night?
'Cause you're not looking great
Were you trying to catch some shut-eye?

Do you ever get tongue-tied?
It's on the tip of it now, still you're
Searching for the word you can't find

Caught in the fog
You were a figure
That cut through the clouds

Looking at you
Was salt on the wound
It was the least you could do

I had to say to you two times
If there's an easy way out then
Somebody's gonna take it

You don’t desеrve to be two-timed
But you’vе been in love before
And there’ll always be a next life

Could it really hurt you this time?
Could it be the—

Alone in a drought
You were a cool drop
Into my mouth

Try to beat the sun
Can’t go it alone
I'd pair with anyone

I was wanting something else
But I couldn’t put a name to it
I was wanting something else
I wasn’t sure that I could live without you

Could it really hurt you this time?
Could it be the one that sleeps beside you?
Could it really hurt you this time?

You were a thought
Crossing my mind
While I was out on the block

When you came into view
Sharpened my tongue
It was the only thing to do

Sharpened my tongue
It was the only thing to do
(You don't deserve to be two-timed)
(I was born of something else)
