You keep saying always But baby that’s a long time To be pacing ‘round the house In the middle of the night Saying we're fine, we’re fine The first time you stayed at my house in New York, yeah you woke me up Caught in a panic that when you left for Paris we’d be breaking up And you’re crying and asking if maybe we’d make it And stay together after you left While I'm doing time-zone math in my head And whispering under my breath You keep saying always But baby that’s a long time To be pacing ‘round the house In the middle of the night Saying we're fine, we’re fine I keep repeating mistakes like they’re new for me to make (You knew I was a snake) Moved in with someone, but fell far too slowly for her to feel we could be safe So she’s saying she’s happy but scared that at any one Minute I might change my mind And I'm lying there with her Just tryna convince her Her fears aren’t justified But she replies You keep saying always But baby that’s a long time To be pacing ‘round the house In the middle of the night Saying we're fine, we’re fine And I know right now I wouldn’t mind waiting around But we both had our lives to live And we knew what we could live without And I think right now I wouldn’t mind waiting around But we both have our lives to live And we learned what we could live without
