I watch the morning dawn upon your skin A splinter in the light It caught and frayed the very heart of us It's been hiding there inside for all this time How a sure thing winds up just like this Clockwork silence only knows
And it's no one's fault There's no black and white Only you and me On this endless night And as the hours run away With another life Oh, darling can't you see It's now or never It's now or never
Sweeping eggshells still at 3 A.M. We're trying far too hard The tattered thought balloons above our heads Sinking in the weight of all we need to say Why's and what if's have since long played out Left us short on happy endings
And it's no one's fault There's no black and white Only you and me On this endless night And as the hours run away With another life Oh, darling can't you see It's now or never It's now or never
You know that there's so much more
And it's no one's fault There's no black and white Only you and me On our final night And as the hours run away With another life Oh, darling can't you see It's now or never It's now or never
