I've been killing time With my paperbacks and my box of wine I've been killing time 'Cause our hearts are too big Our hearts are too big To try and fit it in my head Our hearts are too big Well I forget the dates and facts But I remember nashville til I die Well I could forget the pattern of your dress I haven't yet but I might The world spins without our permisison We can hold our breath and keep on wishin Or we can take it for a ride Yeah it's alright You know it's alright You kiss my lips and you changed your mind But it's alright 'Cause the sun is high Oh the sun is high And the sky is blue and the world is white And the sun is high I've only known two teachers in my life One is summer and one is fall All these statues in my mind They cannot stand against that drunken cannonball But the world spins without our permission We can hold our breath and keep on wishin Or we can take it for a ride When the brown returns to the leaves I feel all that's written inside of me When this world becomes too much to hold Let it go They say that time takes time So I take my time With my paperbacks and my box of wine I take my time
