Lyrics
NEW YORK PARIS MEANTIME

So many hours in an evening
When do I put myself to sleep?
If I had known that you were leavin’
most of myself I would keep

My heart is torn and hanging on my sleeve
I can’t remember when it didn’t bleed

Taking my time and in the New York Paris meantime
if I call you can you tell me what I used to need
Taking my time and in the New York Paris meantime
if you answer can you tell me what I really to need

Falling and falling, sometimes I hear my mama calling
baby, let me sing you a lullaby
Too young for epitaphs
much to young for this goodbye

I’ll put my heart back in this Tin Man suit
dry my own tears before I cannot move
put time on rewind, pretend that everything is fine
and play the Lion to The Dark Side of the Moon

My heart is something that I’ve had to earn
show me a sign, maybe next one is my time
’til then I’m
Taking my time and in the New York Paris meantime
if I call you can you tell me what I used to need
if you answer say I love you one more time

Too young for epitaphs
much to young for this goodbye
goodbye
goodbye
