[Verse 1]
How can it be you’ve loved me this long
When I’ve watched your eyes roll in a deep sleep?
And I can’t help but think of that line you always repeat
How “you can’t wait forever.”
[Chorus]
And I know I’m shy, my act is strong
When you push the hair away from my neck
I can’t go on
It’s a funny thing, the way you look at me
Like I’m some sort of treasure of the past
And of what could be
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen the signs long ago
That you think I’ve stopped believing
It’s a terrible crime, the tablets broke
Commandments we carved out of stone turned to rubble
[Chorus]
And I know I’m shy, my act is strong
When you read the words off the back of my hand
I can’t go on
It’s a funny thing, the way you look at me
Like I’m some sort of treasure of the past
And of what could be
