Timing Lyrics

The night I met you we decided we should leave the party and sat on the street 'til 1am

After a week or two, somebody said you moved back to Chicago the same week

And I downplayed it, let it fade

Like ink runs off of a one page story

I got jaded, maybe I hate when

Things start to feel too good for me 

Feelings and seasons change

Somebody else's name

Left me home alone, broken up

Mad at love

Thought you'd forgotten me

But now we're talking dreams
Like old friends catching up over coffee cups 

Then we shared secrets

I asked Jesus why He brought you around right now

Said I'm not ready

It's too healthy

Baby, I don't wanna let you down

I'll fight it out with timing

Could you and I catch lightning?

Love is patient, I'm just not

But I'd die trying

To fight it out with timing

We've still got dreams to chase

And our demons to face

So we tell ourselves we're better off being friends 

We'll hang on holidays

I'll help you decorate

And you'll ask how my father's been

We can plan our future, buy furniture

But don't you dare say you love me yet

I'm not ready

It's too heavy

Just how real is this gonna get?

I'll fight it out with timing

Could you and I catch lightning?

Love is patient, I'm just not

But I'd die trying

To fight it out with timing

Timing

With us it's always goodbye

Running away, catching flights

Three years of trying to hide

My stupid feelings

Wondering why we don't try

Why friends don't spend the night

Too scared that crossing a line

Might lead to leaving 

And it's probably why we fought at Natchez Trace

And I know I should've told you New Year's Day

But how do I explain I'd rather wait on seasons

Than face the reasons I

Keep blaming it on timing

Caught somewhere between hope and lying

Love is brave, and I'm just not

But I'm trying

To fight it out with timing

To fight it out with timing

To fight it out with

Timing
