I was outside
When I first heard you singing the blues
Yeah, your sadness sounded beautiful
A smoke and it's gone
And it passed through my lungs
And just enough said for me
To hear you sing a song
About past regret
And the future
And all the crowds were crying out
Slow down, slow down
And we knew we were running out
Of time, our lives
You don't know me
Well I could be anyone you want
A safe bet and right you are
A friends tragedy tore us all apart
Like a soldier's family left in the dark
Watching how their child is doing
And all the crowds were crying out
Slow down, slow down
And we knew we were running out
Of time, our lives
Or connecting like lovers'll do
The first time their lips touch
Yeah, we knew we were running out
Of time, our lives
And all the crowds were crying out
Slow down, slow down
Yeah, we knew we were running out
Of time, our lives
Or connecting like lovers'll do
The first time their lips touch
Yeah, we knew we were running out
Of time, our lives
