lyrics

I blinked just in time to watch it all pass by
By in front of me, it's been five years since we're 23
Remember when you said to me, "In five years and we'll be 30"?
Is this how you wanted it to happen, or is this just a bad twist?

If you were going to stop, why didn't you tell me before the tempered glass, it broke my fall?
Would it have been so hard for you to warn me before my pulse was gone?
Darlin', when the ambulance came howlin'
And the color rushed back to your face
When they sat you down and told you, "He was dead, dear, long before the fall"

Now we're 29 and the years are flying by
Without much courtesy, just rushing all my memories
Remember what you said to me when I told you what you meant to me?
Standing out there in the cold, I prayed this life to go slow

You sat right next to me, still I was lightyears from your sympathy
And you could hear me scream and pretend like nothing's happening
You sat right next to me, still I was lightyears from your memory
And you could hear me scream like it's nothing for me

If you were going to stop, why didn't you tell me before the tempered glass, it broke my fall?
Would it have been so hard for you to warn me before my pulse was gone?
Darlin', when the ambulance came howlin'
And the color rushed back to your face
When they sat you down and told you, "He was dead, dear..."
When they sat you down and told you I was dead, dear, "Long before the fall"

"This was not your fault at all"
"No, this was not your fault at all"

Street lights and no one else around, just glass and metal on the ground
Dead still, your heart the only sound pounding between the rain so loud
Street lights and no one else around, just glass and metal on the ground
Dead still, no heartbeat to be found, just rain falling all around
