Hey tess i've told you this a million times before when i can't find the keys and i can't find the door anymore

Your dress is all wet from the raining outside, you've run from him again, you can't find a place to hide

Let's stay up all night and confess to the stars of all the secrets that you tell me and how you've run too far

Sometimes it's better to just sit and smile as our life, it passes us by
Sometimes it's better to just sit and stare as our life, it's passing us by

Don't feel alarmed and tess don't be afraid of all the people you surround yourself with, they're all insane

And don't be around when the clock strikes twelve even if i call you out, even if i call your name

Sometimes it's better to just sit and smile as our life it's passes us by
Sometimes it's better to just sit and stare as our life, it's passing us by

It's passing us by, you and me

I can't find the sea when the fog's on haight
I can't find you anywhere this lonely heart
Don't be around when the clock strikes twelve
Even if i call you out, even if i call your name
If i call you out, if i call your name
