It's about time
They say time is so everything
Doesn't all happen at once
A fool doesn't know what he wants
Until it's too late

Always last to leave the party
Cuz you never learned to say goodbye
In the cold you can see your breath
Gently disappear into the night

Near and far
Nobody marries young anymore
A heart doesn't know what it's for
Like a planet that's lost its Sun
Goes drifting and alone

Is there another Earth
Another universe
Another version of me

One who gets it right
Who holds to her tight
One whose world is happy

There in another life
Another timeline
Where I wasn't born to lose

One where hearts are strong
Love knows right from wrong
One where I'm not a fool

Always last to leave the party
Cuz you never learned to say goodbye
In the cold you can see your breath
One more, one less
Gently disappear into the night
