Brittany Howard
Short and Sweet
[Verse 1]
There are miles between us
Time between us
There is something between us
I may be a fool to dream of you
But God, it feels so good to dream at all
Something short and sweet
There's always a light over my head for you
I am waiting, I am waiting
Time will always try to kill me

[Chorus]
There are mountains between us
There is time between us
Oh, ain't there something between us?
Something short and sweet

[Verse 2]
I don't care if I should
Do you wanna hurt me?
'Cause I've been hurtin' all alone
It didn't kill me, no
But it wasn't no fun
Come and get you some
Just the beginning
I only want the beginning
We'll give each other all of our best
And then time can do what it wants with it
[Chorus]
There are mountains between us
There is time between us
Oh, ain't there something between us?
Something short and sweet

[Verse 3]
So why can't I wait?
Why can't I wait?
Why can't I think?
Why can't I wake without you always appearing?
Oh, I better not wait too long
'Cause time is gonna kill it
Time is gonna kill it
Time is gonna kill it
Time is gonna kill it
