End of an Era

Stop holding my hand

I get the feeling you don't understand

Cracks in the ceiling, snakes in the sand

Something too good to be true can't be planned

Go open your eyes

I gotta ruin the big surprise

You were a shoo-in for the Nobel Prize

If only you knew how the judges had been bribed

Girl, it's over and it's been for a while

We are older, but we're both still in style

We can make it, if we take a little time

For ourselves, 'cause there's nobody else

Do you remember that night?

With us in a mirror and the neon light

It was so clear, something wasn't right

Overlooking the corner of 42nd and 9th

Don't cry anymore (Don't cry anymore)

I'm leaving you lying on the hotel floor (Lying on the hotel floor)

What's keeping you from trying to open the door?

Puttin' it all behind

Girl, it's over and it's been for a while

We are older, but we're both still in style

We can make it, if we take a little time

For ourselves, 'cause there's nobody else

Love is not a lie

Breaking your heart is how you learn to survive

I know it's hard to take your own advice

Take it from me and get on with your life

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Girl, it's over and it's been for a while

We are older, but we're both still in style

We can make it, if we take a little time

For ourselves, cause there's nobody else

It's over, you're older, my shoulder

It is not gonna help you get over

Just take a little time for yourself

'Cause there's nobody else who can tell what you felt

And there's nothing to do

That's what you gotta go through

It's the end of an era and the start of something new

Ooh
