I never could rest under such a blue moon
It started so late and it ended so soon
I didn't have time enough to tell you goodbye
It sounded too good, even too good to try
There never was much I could see in your eyes
Time after time, there was too much to hide
There will come a time when a second's too long
You'll stagger offbeat in your sad, twisted song
Did I sully your name? Did I ruin your mold?
I never got close to an angel so cold
Rubbing my forearms and knocking my knees
Under your window and close on the breeze
I never did claim to be more than a kid
Bouncing your curls was the worst that I did
I just should have counted on winning that bet
But something like this is too much to forget
I thought it was over. I thought it was done
But you didn't want it all; you wanted some
But halfway is somewhere I just will not meet
So stand up and take me, or just take your seat
