Landslide

Dream on, man That's what you told me When I said I loved you in that park inside the city You said, "I don't mind if we take our time - But, you know I'm not one to take chances" So I wrapped it up and set it down again And I said, "I can't help it, it's the way that I've been feeling" And I stood by your side with my hands in my pockets Wishing I'd never said anything at all But it's alright, it's okay When the cold wind blows, you know, you're better weather it away I guess, in time, it'll work out fine I hope you're waiting for me when I cross the finish line I spend most evenings here, pretending That you'll hear the little hints I drop in conversation And I pray some nights that they don't put you off me Each and every good time happens over coffee with you Oh, with you Oh, with you Oh, whoa But I'm near exhausted from this running And, in the distance, I see the ending line approaching And I shut my eyes, clutch my alibi While I hope you're there waiting in the distance The critics are calling it a landslide A standing ovation for first time in a long time And I shut my eyes, and your lips met mine And we talked about trading this future for our past
