Maybe we were crazy
When we said, so long
Maybe we're afraid of
Our right to say, everything that's wrong

I fall off beat, hit the street,
With a rhythm, feet hit the pavement
Can't control all the roles
When we play games
So it's the same, but I know that

Time's still ticking by
And the ghost of her still wants to haunt my
Dreams it seems I come close to crying
Tears without her here to keep my time

She sends back my letters
Unopened, she says it's better that way
But me, I can't unopen
My heart, can't unstart quite that easily

I try to write all the right things
Bite my tongue at the dumb things I say
Strange how our brains
Just get in the way, so I know what to say but

Time's still ticking by
And the ghost of her still wants to haunt my
Dreams it seems I come close to crying
Tears without her here to keep my time
I've got to keep my time

And the worst thing
Is the first thing that I thought of
When she asked me to go
Yes, the worst thing
Is the first thing I thought of
She still doesn't know
I love her so

Maybe we were crazy
When we said
So long
I'm afraid of taking
The wrong step
But every step is wrong

I try to fight all the rights and wrongs
And blind to the time, time it takes so long
Since we said goodbye, so how did I ever keep that

Time's still ticking by
And the ghost of her still wants to haunt my
Dreams it seems I come close to crying
Tears so full of fears
And shifting gears
Without her here
to keep my time

I've got to keep my time
