1000 Seconds

I must admit it's a balancing act

It looks dangerous, that's part of it

Remember, don't look down

You and I standing in a crowded room

We were pressed together but we're holding on

Like we're all that was, that's all there was

In a flash of light

We were drunk, we were having a fight

I was wrong, that don't mean you were right

Then you played that song, it was a thousand seconds long

It didn't end, it seemed to play on all night

'Cause if I remember right I fell asleep there

Rain clouds passed and darkened more

An evening touched by waiting for the sky burst

Storms had gathered in crushing lines

I surrendered to a way that I remembered you

That's all there was

If I were forced to choose, what I have, I have to lose

I need love, that don't mean I need you

It started with that song, it was a thousand seconds long

It didn't end 'cause we never got through

And did you think that I had planned it all along

Hoping not to be alone, well, I was there on the edge of the rush

And did you leave because you thought that I would stay

Stricken with a holy fright and it was clear as the night in the cold

And I won't ever know what you're afraid of

And when the world ends

A thousand seconds too

We'll watch the time pass

Run through the high end too

And then we'll wait there

A thousand seconds too

That's when it all ends

A thousand seconds too
