Time Bomb
Today my only goal is to get along
I won't hurt you baby
Or make you feel any more alone
Pretty words, they aren't what I want
But they'll tide us over
Pretty words never did anybody harm
I'm a time bomb, baby
I didn't think I'd get this far
How the sun blushes when you smile
Your music in my car
Your hand in mine
I wish I wanted to say, "Hell, let's go"
But there's a lump in my throat
Driving me coast to coast
I'm a tightrope, baby
I guess I should have let you know
All I wanna do is give you space
But it's been days and I'm getting used to silence
I'm an old hand, I can wait
Sometimes my immanence is violent
I'm a telescope, baby
Tell me why you're so far away
The sea's the only thing in my reckoning
A constant worry
A landscape of grief
Out in the waves I am weightless and wandering
A tangle of common things
Little arrogant melody
I'm a high tide line, baby
Such a lonely thing to be
All I wanna do is give you space
I'm afraid that I'm learning how
Distance makes the heart so strange
You're a wunderkind, baby
I wonder what you're thinking now
I won't hurt you baby
Or make you feel any more alone
Pretty words, they aren't what I want
But they'll tide us over
Pretty words never did anybody harm
I'm a time bomb, baby
I didn't think I'd get this far
How the sun blushes when you smile
Your music in my car
Your hand in mine
I wish I wanted to say, "Hell, let's go"
But there's a lump in my throat
Driving me coast to coast
I'm a tightrope, baby
I guess I should have let you know
All I wanna do is give you space
But it's been days and I'm getting used to silence
I'm an old hand, I can wait
Sometimes my immanence is violent
I'm a telescope, baby
Tell me why you're so far away
The sea's the only thing in my reckoning
A constant worry
A landscape of grief
Out in the waves I am weightless and wandering
A tangle of common things
Little arrogant melody
I'm a high tide line, baby
Such a lonely thing to be
All I wanna do is give you space
I'm afraid that I'm learning how
Distance makes the heart so strange
You're a wunderkind, baby
I wonder what you're thinking now
