If ever there was a time to tell me

If ever there was a time to touch me too long

If ever there was a gone to be our time

That time is gone

Cuz you can't say that you can't swim

The turn around and jump right in

Say come on in the water's fine

Why are you crying?

If ever there was a worse time than this

If ever there was a worse idea than to kiss me

I can't think of what it would be

I can't think at all so help me

You can't say that you can't fly

Then wave to me from way on high

Say come on up the air is clear

Why are you just standing there?

Oh my love for you it is a changing thing

Like the world outside my window

And oh yes

My patience for you it is a shrinking thing

Like bones

There's nothing so sweet as a new friend

With no past and a present with no end

But all shiny things must fade

She's just filled the space that you made

Cuz you can't say that you can't sing

Then be the song the morning brings

Sing it to me one more time

Why are you still crying?

Oh my love for you it is a changing thing

Like the world outside my window

And oh yes

My patience for you it is a shrinking thing

Like bones

Bones that break and bones that shatter

That bone that juts out above her collar

The thing that's shaken me to my bones

Is the thing I've come to know?

If ever there was a time to tell me

If ever there was a time to touch me too long

If ever there was a time to be our time

That time is gone

That time is gone

Oh my love for you it is a changing thing

Like the world outside my window

And oh yes

My patience for you it is a shrinking thing

It is a shrinking thin

Oh my love for you it is a changing thing

Like the world outside my window

And oh yes

My patience for you it is a shrinking thing

Like bones
