Love is over-rated
Say those who've never known
Turning a page
To each uncertain afternoon
And they're giving me a chance to see
All the reasons and all of the keys
Paying my way for another day.
Things you said in virtue
Underneath the moon
Carrying your umbrella
On some cloudy afternoon
And they're giving me the chance to see
All the reasons and all of the keys
Paying my way for another day.
Books you've never read
And letters you never wrote
All I can ever remember
Is carrying your coat
And you're giving me the chance to see
All the reasons and all of the keys
Paying my way for another day.
Bright lights in your window
They're reminding me of home
You think you're so unfettered
But you never forget to phone
And you're giving me the chance to see
All the reasons and all of the keys
Paying my way for another day.
Diamonds on your fingers
And ashes in your heart
All the love we ever had
Quickly pulled us apart
And you're giving me the chance to see
All the reasons and all of the keys
Paying my way for another day.
Love is so uncertain
Said someone I once met
All it takes is a kiss
And an afternoon in bed
And they're giving me the chance to see
All the reasons and all of the keys
Paying my way for another day.
