You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it. 
But it isn't meant for me, and I notice 
If the choice was ours alone, 
Then why'd we both choose letting go? 
Does it end like this? 

Time never had a chance to heal your heart 
Just a number always counting down to a new start 
If you always knew the [bad word] 
Then the world would spin around you 
Are you dizzy yet? 

Respectfully, some honesty I'm callin' out 
Do you hear the conversation we talk about? 
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house 
If there's half a chance in this moment 
When your eyes meet mine, we show it 

All talk and not a lot to think, we were living dreams 
And shame never crept close to our naked feet 
If there's something left to lose, 
Then don't let me wear out my shoes 
I'm still walking 

I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night 
On a pay phone, remember those? from another life 
if everything I meant to you, 
You can lick and seal then fold in two 
Then I've been so blind 

Respectfully, some honesty I'm askin' now 
Do you hear the conversation we talk about? 
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house 
If there's half a chance in this moment When your eyes meet mine, we show it 

Take it all back, take your first, your last, your only 
Take it all back take it all back, everything you showed me 
This must be how it feels when the feeling goes on 

I told you as I hovered, I'd never felt this way 
you said "I had the shot that stops my clock" Baby, it's ok 
you said you'd never have regrets, Jesus is there someone yet who got that wish? 
Did you get yours? Babe? 

Respectfully, some honesty I'm askin' now 
Do you hear the conversation we talk about? 
I'll back away to the safety of a quiet house 
If there's half a chance in this moment... When your eyes meet mine, we show it
