lyrics

Hello, hello so nice to see you again
Been far too long since I've seen your face, my friend
I always knew that we would get there in the end

You stoked the fire and rekindled the flame
The times have changed but the feeling remains the same
So when this falls apart tell me what is left to blame

So take my hand tonight 'cause I know our time is borrowed
I'm not thinking about tomorrow
I just wanna see if you can smile

Looking back it was so easy to see
The expiration date so imminent for you and me
I'm not so unwise when I try to be

I hold my breath and then you take it away
There's just no use to try and find the words that make you stay
'Cause now I know that you won't have me any other way

So take my hand tonight 'cause I know our time is borrowed
And if this road leads me to sorrow
I still wanna travel down the miles

And I don't need another reason why
It's time to let this die
And I think it's time that we quit this long goodbye

Now I know all the secrets you keep
And I try to forget while I'm losing sleep
Now I've said all that I could say
And you turn your back, yeah you run away
I can't hide this for one more day

I hold my breath and then you take it away
Been far too long to pin my hopes upon this yesterday
I guess now it's time I be on my way

I ran headlong into the night and I...
I turned around just to find that you were nowhere in sight
And still something pulls me to the light

I rest my head tonight in a world that feels so hollow
And in the darkness sure to follow
I'll find my way to another light

And I don't need another reason why
It's time to let this die
And I think it's time that we quit this long goodbye

Yeah I think it's time that we quit this long goodbye
Ain't nothing left to say...
