Take a seat and catch your breath
You're only working towards your death
For us the days go by oh so slow
But your blonde hair and gaping eyes
Sent tingles down my nervous spine
And now the days go by oh so slow

I am yours if you want it
I could be yours to spend your life with
We'll hide indoors, petrified of the world

And if you'd rather stay in at night
I can relate to that
And if it feels like your heart's dried up
I can relate to that
And if you need someone at your side
I am out there

In the grass at Union Square
I touched your face, pushed back your hair
And said the days go by oh so slow
And in a room, upon your bed
We tangled arms and crossed our legs
When you sleep alone, the days go oh so slow
