Time Bomb Lyrics

Today my only goal is to get along

I won't hurt you baby

Or make you feel any more alone

Pretty words, they aren't what I want

But they'll tide us over

Pretty words never did anybody harm

I'm a time bomb, baby

I didn't think I'd get this far

How the sun blushes when you smile

Your music in my car

Your hand in mine

I wish I wanted to say, "Hell, let's go"

But there's a lump in my throat

Driving me coast to coast

I'm a tightrope, baby

I guess I shoulda let you know

All I wanna do is give you space

But it's been days and I'm getting used to silence

I'm an old hand, I can wait

Sometimes my immanence is violent

I'm a telescope, baby

Tell me why you're so far away

The sea's the only thing in my reckoning

A constant worry

A landscape of grief

Out in the waves I am weightless and wandering

A tangle of common things

Little arrogant melody

I'm a high tide line, baby

Such a lonely thing to be

All I wanna do is give you space

I'm afraid that I'm learning how

Distance makes the heart so strange

You're a wunderkind, baby

I wonder what you're thinking now
