I used to think that being alone
Would some how simplify my life
But I really know myself
Know I'm going to miss tonight

Talking on the telephone
Having all the postage paid
Never made me feel as good
As walking on those riverbanks

Laughing like two little kids
Sitting in the back of class
Only thing that's on my mind
Is how to make this moment last

So I pull my camera out
And aimed it at your smiling face
All the while we hear the sound
Of our time slipping away

Used to think that being in love
Would somehow complicate my life
But I really know my heart
And I can hear yours beat with mine

Pounding on piano keys
And strumming on those copper strings
Always made me feel alive
Your standing right there next to me
Singing like two little kids
And waiting for the rain to past
Only thing that's on my mind
Is how to make this moment last

So I pull my feelings out
Left them in your travel case
All the while we hear the sound
Of our time slipping away
