lyrics

Time is a lie and so, for that matter, is patience
Holding in all of the thoughts one dares not speak aloud
A variable has confounded my best-laid equations
Blowing the cool of which fools are so terribly proud

You’re a mystery that’s just begging to unravel
You’re a secret looking for a place to spill
Given similar proclivity for travel
Hey, if we don’t do this now we never will

Chance is a game and abrading the rules of engagement
Can often result in a less-than-ideal consequence
Hope my lips don’t look too eager to end their estrangement
And try not to act like I comb conversation for hints

You’re an answer in the form of a question
You’re a riddle that’s just aching to be solved
If I may be so bold as to venture a suggestion
Hey, I would love to see the way this gets resolved

Because you’re hotter than an August in El Paso
And you’re cooler than a January 5th
And you tie my silver tongue up like a lasso
And your smile shines like the ribbon on a gift
