Lyrics
When I told you I was leaving for the East Coast
I wonder if you took it as a sign
When you told me that you loved me did you mean it
Or were you terrified of running out of time
Here the sunset weeps across the water
And I think of you as stars light up the sky
There’s a couple in the bedroom down the hallway from my room
Making such sweet lovin’ through the night
And I’ve been writing a love song
But I just can’t seem to get the words to rhyme
Cause poets lie, and love will scorn you
And we’re losing the naiveté to try
Is it time we say goodbye
If you cared how things were going you might call me
At least that’s what my buddies keep on saying
But if you’ll hold the hatchet I will gladly dig the hole
And we can try to build our house on shifting sand
And I’ve been writing this love song
But I just can’t seem to get the words to rhyme
Cause poets lie, and love will scorn you
And we’re losing the naiveté to try
Is it time we say goodbye
And I’ve been writing our love song
But try as I might baby we don’t rhyme
Cause I’m a liar and love has scorned me
And I’m losing the naiveté to try
And it’s time we say goodbye
