1000 Seconds

I must admit it's a balancing act,
it looks dangerous, that's part of it,
remember - don't look down.

You and I standing in a crowded room,
We were pressed together,
but we're holding on,
like we're all there was.
That's all there was.

In a flash of light,
We were drunk, we were having a fight.
I was wrong, but that dont mean you were right.
Then you played that song,
it was a thousand seconds long,
it didn't end, it seemed to play on all night -
Cause if I remember right, I fell asleep there.

Rainclouds passed, and darkened more,
An evening touched by waiting for the sky to burst.
Storms had gathered in crushing lines,
I surrendered to the way that I remember you.
That's all there was.

If I were forced to choose,
What I have, I have to lose,
Well I need love, that don't mean I need you.
It started with that song,
it was a thousand seconds long.
It didn't end, 'cause we never got through.

And did you think that I had planned it all along?
Hoping not to be alone?
Well I was there, on the edge of the rush.
And did you leave because you thought that I would stay?
Stricken with a holy fright.
And it was clear as the night in the cold,
And I won't ever know what you're afraid of.

And when the world ends,
a thousand seconds too.
We'll watch the time pass,
Run through the high and blue.

And then we'll wait there,
a thousand seconds too.
That's when it all ends,
a thousand seconds too.
