Morning coffee, a quick hello,
watch you walk in and watch you go.
Wishing time would slow down a little bit.
A short walk and a little fun,
a little talk and too much sun.
Wishing my heart would stop giving me little fits.
‘Cause when you smile like you mean it I crack under the weight of it all.
I pick myself up every evening and then every morning I fall.
Six o’clock comes and I can’t leave,
not while you’re still here with me.
Prayers for rain and the night to never come again.
It’s borrowed time and I’ll accept it.
He can be your man and, honey, I’ll be your best friend.
I’ll be here like September is when the Summer ends.
‘Cause when you smile like you mean it I crack under the weight of it all.
I pick myself up every evening and then every morning I fall.
Saturday spent soft and slow.
You’re out somewhere and I’m alone.
Another drink, another smile at another thought of you.
Every weekend spent staying numb,
keeping your name like a secret on the tip of my tongue. Holding onto your words like candlelight.
‘Cause when you smile like you mean it I crack under the weight of it all.
I pick myself up every evening and then every morning I fall.
