I was driving down state street
feeling giddy, she was in my passenger seat
We only had an hour to get up this trail
We only had an hour to get up this trail

Walking down, the time was fading fast
it was all I could do
to make every moment count
My time without her is my prison cell
I can barley handle it
I only ask her that she'll post my bail
The solution is very clear

Running along, laughing
I'm more distracted now
than I could ever be
Not a whole lot else seems
to matter at the moment
All my energy is spent on trying to please

This must be
no time for hesitating
I cannot let this fail
Not when it all fits so perfectly

Now we've got a problem
the time is up, it's time for all of us to go home
So inconveniently, we must go
The end seems premature
I cannot delay what's already come
A finite war that can't be won

There is no quick solution
The sun is setting, and I cannot wish it back up
Things never work that way
I cannot wish it back up
Things don't quite work that way
The predicament is my own fear
Being completely honest about my feelings for her
This forced finally is so bitter sweet
But the pain is worth it, so I think
Yeah, so I think

Moving my feet, tapping
Cause all that's left for me is to reflect back
My resigned wish was for time to slow
And now that I'm without her it is doing so

I pick up the phone, call her back
I'm experiencing some equivalent to a heart attack
But I bite the bullet cause
This must be
This must be
This must be

Running along, laughing
I'm more distracted now than I could ever be
Not a whole lot else
seems to matter at the moment
All my energy is spent on trying to please

This must be
no time for hesitating
I cannot let this fail
Not when it all fits so perfectly
