[Verse]
Seven months older
Air's getting colder, our bed's startin' to creak
God knows where you are
I'm here waiting for love through a screen
You show me the outfit you chose
For the dinner and tonight's show
Must be nice to be your clothes
Second to none even at your worst
Sometimes, I wish you'd put me first

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Out of time (Ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (Ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise
I love you too much to stay in love
[Verse]
How are you darling? How are you, really?
How was Taiwan? (You never say)
Thanks for the flowers, but you've been here hours
Yet your coat's still very much on
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiptoein' around the bitter truth but we both know...
[Chorus]
It's just time (Ooh)
Must I die before you feel alive? (Ooh)
A curse in a graceful disguise
[Outro]
Great was our love, it was one for the books
We gave it the best that we could
But I won't recite all my lines just to watch you and I... lie
I'm so proud I got to love you once
