[Verse 1] First light and the curtains blew You said it’s time to run Last night all the rooms were new We came undone before we’d begun Your keys were cold inside your hand The hallway filled with noise You left me standing where we planned To make a life, not make a choice [Pre-Chorus] How long has it been now? We go back and forth like dancers onstage One week since you called me How long has it been now? While all the houses cheer from the stands [Chorus] Why do I still believe In giving second chances just to keep you near? Always the same thing, all the time I hear the phone ring, I go blind [Verse 2] Two days since you came back Whispering don’t let go Last night we were strangers Now you’re the only thing I know The streetlights opened over us The avenue went white You put your hand inside my pocket Like you knew I’d let you [Pre-Chorus] How long will it last now? We trade our hearts like cards beneath the table One night since you touched me How long will it last now? While the whole house watches [Chorus] Why do I still believe In leaving windows open scared you’ll disappear? Always the same thing, all the time I hear your footsteps, I go mad [Bridge] Maybe love is not a door Maybe it’s the hand that keeps it locked Maybe we’re the only two Still knocking after everyone has stopped [Breakdown] One day, you love me Next day, you don’t One day, you need me Next day, you won’t I keep making homes Inside your temporary places Keep calling it forever While you’re counting down the days [Final Chorus] Why do I still believe? Why do I still believe? Always the same thing, all the time I see the warning, I go blind All the time
