Growing old, still don't know, where the love goes?
And does it ever, come to grasp, when it's needed most?

Well does it hit you like a train
Takes the air out of your veins
Or does it come in lasting moments
Slowly running down the drain

It never gives up, and did they carry you off?
To an old familiar place, and when you got there did they say

"Oh, you weren't expected to show!
But we're glad that you're here and we want you to know
Don't mind there's no standard, or time
You're only late when you feel like the timing's not right"

Too scared to deny, too smart to ignore
All the details that they left out
When they taught you what was wrong
And they told you there was love
But only one type that belonged

Well does it ever make you wonder
How you got here in the first place
Just to find something you love
And to be told it's a mistake
It never gives up, and did they carry you off?
To an old familiar place, and when you got there did they say

"Oh, you weren't expected to show!
But we're glad that you're here and we want you to know
Don't mind there's no standard, or time
You're only late when you feel like the timing's not right"

"Oh, you weren't expected to show!
But we're glad that you're here and we want you to know
Don't mind there's no standard, or time
You're only late when you feel like the timing's not right"

And we'll try
To capture just the thing that makes us calm
And realize
That it's something that just comes along
That it's something that just comes along

And all you can hope for is
A love like that when you're older
And all you can hope for is
A love like that when it's over

I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm keeping calm
(And all you can hope for is)
I just don't know where I went wrong
(A love like that when you're older)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm keeping calm
(And all you can hope for is)
I just don't know where I went wrong
(A love like that when it's over)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm keeping calm
(Some perspective when you're sober)
I just don't know where I went wrong
(A love like that when it's over)
