Landslide

Dream on, man, that’s what you told me
When I said I loved you in that park inside the city
You said: I don’t mind if we take our time
But you know I’m not one to take chances

So I wrapped it up & set it down again
And I said: I can’t help it; it’s the way that I’ve been feeling
So I stood by your side with my hands in my pockets
Wishing I’d never said anything at all

But it’s alright
It’s okay
When the cold wind blows you know you’re gonna weather it away
I guess in time, it’ll work out just fine

I just hope you’re waiting for me when I cross the finish line
I spend most evenings here pretending
That you’ll hear the little hints I drop in conversation
And I pray some nights that they don’t put you off me
Each and every good time happens over coffee with you

But I’m near exhausted from this running
And in the distance I see the ending line approaching
So I shut my eyes, clutch my alibis
While I hope you’re there waiting in the distance

The critics are calling it a landslide
A standing ovation for first time in a long time
When I closed my eyes and your lips met mine
And we talked about trading this future for our past
