Well I spoke with my father
On a notion I'd been told
I was sure that the chalkboard
Had much greater to unfold

I was looking through the fences
Could I ever fit this mold?
And these lines who would cross them
Save the foolish and the bold?

We were faster than our teachers
Couldn't change my point of view
I was bound to turn up missing
Hoping I'd be found with you

I was captured in a moment
Fairest I had ever seen
All my searching all my theories
Took an instant to complete
So I begged you to come with me
What a lovely day to waste
For if only you'd consider
It would be my greatest escape

Just for a while
(Hey)
Oh, just for a while
(Hey)
Just for a while
(Hey)
Oh, just for a while
(Hey)

In your canopy of freedom
You paraded past my heart
When you begged me to consider
You had loved to from the start

And we were faster than our teachers
Couldn't change my point of view
I was bound to turn up missing
Hoping I'd be found with you

Just for a while
(Hey)
Oh, just for a while
(Hey)
Just for a while
(Hey)
Oh, just for a while
(Hey)
Just for a while
