Lyrics
Sitting in a small cafe in Spain, imagination runs to you. Sun is on my face, the radio plays, not sure if what I hear is true. Don't send me lyrics you think I might like, cause we both know where it leads. Nothing is innocent, we're lying to ourselves, so we keep on this restless dream.
We're Just not in the right place, or the right time, though nothing in this world they say is real. So we'll still play, in our own ways, until the lies break the deal.
You keep looking for the cracks all over my love, all my flaws so you can't help but run, so elusive. Scared heart, Cold hands, but still I just wanna hold them till I get to know them. It's too bad you can't see your divinity, or how beautiful you really are. And now all of my new songs are a little too complicated, not a princess little wish upon a star.
We're just not in the right place, or the right time, though nothing in this world they say is real. but there's no way, in our may-bay's that either one of us can heal.
Different eyes, different face, different case, I promise to myself won't drink that same fine wine. Yet here I stand again, a familiar hymn, it's me who shows up every time. Can't lie to others till we lie to ourselves, a million fold to make it true. And my biggest claim to fame was that I didn't like this stage and our curtain feel right on cue.
We're just not in the right place, or the right time, though nothing in this world they say is real. But there's no way in our may-bay's, that either one of us can heal. So how do we find the right place, or the right time, and not distorted moments that we steal. If we throw 'way this poker face, then maybe it just might be real.
