Hard Good-Byes

The clock strikes one, and you're still running circles in my mind
And it's the best things have ever been, it's the best things have ever been
The clock strikes two, and I'm still falling for you
And with every tick of the tock that's on the clock, I'm longing for you

So I'll curse the ceiling cause it's the only thing that's keeping me from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me, cause if it weren't for it, you'd be here in my arms

I wish that you were here to guide my weary head to rest
Because every word that I sing without you is a waste of my breath
Hold me up, don't let me down, just stay with me tonight
Whisper in my ear "I love you so, sweet dreams, sleep tight"

So I'll curse the ceiling cause it's the only thing that's keeping me from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me, cause if it weren't for it, you'd be here in my arms

So I'll curse the ceiling cause it's the only thing that's keeping us from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me, cause if it weren't for it, you'd be here in my arms

And I head for the door, but you stop me short
Because it's getting harder to say good-bye
Lean in where our lips can meet
And please don't let me go, just hold me here with you tonight
And you count the beats of my rapidly beating heart
And I feel so alive wrapped up here in your arms
And you count the breaths as I drift off to sleep
And I feel so in love knowing you've fallen in love with me

Oh I've been alone for far too long
Darling, please free me from singing this same old song
And I'm no good at living without you, please girl don't make me try
I can't live one more day like this, just stay here with me, you and I
So when that clock strikes one, I won't be walking for that door
No I'll be bended on one knee, oh I'll be begging for you more
So if you count those breaths and kept track of the beats
You'll know I feel so alive knowing you've fallen in love with me

So I'll curse the ceiling cause it's the only thing that's keeping us from lying under the stars
And I'll curse the distance between you and me, cause if it weren't for it, you'd be here in my arms
