Landslide

[Verse 1]
“Dream on man”, that’s what you told me
When I said I loved you in the 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.”

[Verse 2]
So I wrapped it up & set it down again
And I said, ‘I can’t help it;
It’s the way that I’ve been feeling’
So I stood by your side with my hands in my pockets
Wishing I’d never said anything at all

[Chorus 1]
But it’s alright
It’s okay
When the cold wind blows you know you better weather it away
I guess in time, it’ll work out just fine
I just hope you’re waiting for me when I cross the finish line

[Verse 3]
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
'cause each and every good time happens over coffee with you
Oh with you

[Verse 4]
But I’m near exhausted from this running
And in the distance I see the ending line approaching
So I shut my eyes, clutch my alibi
While I hope you’re there waiting in the distance

[Verse 5]
The critics are calling it a landslide;
A standing ovation for first time in a long time
When I shut my eyes and your lips met mine
And we talked about trading this future for our past
