Like a gun shot from miles away, she's moving in
Like a rain storm without the rain, she falls on him
Like a phone call to warn the troupe that never rings
It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia

They met after work one day she laughed with him
They drove off their separate ways, they met for drinks
When he got home the silent game, was deafening
It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
In Philadelphia
In Philadelphia

She thought that love was gonna fight
She thought that love was gonna take her home
She thought that love was gonna save her
But love just never showed
We think that love is always watching
We learned that love was supposed to win
But sometimes it's the demons that are standing in the end

He slips off his worn out suit, and tries to rest
She's a million miles away across the bed
She rolls over puts her hand across his chest

It's the truth before the lies
It's the way she doesn't try
It's the wink before the sly
