Time Change Lyrics

She bought a ticket for a Friday flight out of LAX

She knew the plan. She'd mapped out what would happen next

She'd land in D.C. and rent a car with miles to go

He made the move down to Charlottesville two years ago

Time change

Time change

All those hours up in the air, and behind the wheel

All that time to wonder how his hand would feel

They fell in love when he lived right across the hall

Now it took hours for her to hold his hand at all

Time change

Time change

It would be late by the time she finally reached his door

Was it too late for him to hold her like before?

She thought, Will he wait up, and I won't wonder anymore?

She thought, Will he wait up? Will he reach for me from shore to shore?

Then she found him fast asleep in the living room

That's when she asked him, This love of ours, was it always doomed

By the time change

By the time change

She bought him coffee in January, 2010

Heaven knows the world had turned a few times since then

They'd make it last when she said yes to moving west

They said, "Love will come first," but more and more she second-guessed

'Cause things change

Time change

Time change

Time change

Blame the miles? Was California just too far?

Blame the years? 'Cause who you were ain't who you are

When he woke up, he realized and wondered too

When she woke up

She bought a ticket for a Sunday flight to LAX
