Lyrics:

Too many late nights, goin' too deeply
Into her reasons for leavin' me here
Like I don't know why
Thought those blue eyes could complete me
But I filled them instead with the ghosts in my head
I'm never satisfied
Till the first tear falls

Spend my days now dodgin' memories
Shufflin' my dreams of what we could've been
In another time
In places we've known I sit by the payphone
Then I warm to my theme with the burn of the beam
And build my tower of dimes
But I still can't call

I hid it all with pride while time was on my side
From the echoing alley to the sun-kissed valley
I made it through somehow
I kept it all inside, never let it slide
And I can't start now

Well, I was stand-up, loved a showdown
Kept my eyes on the road, never saw what I owed
Till the price was high
I heard her sweet lips whisper 'Slow down'
Then my heart hid inside while my old foolish pride
Made those blue eyes cry
And the rain came down...

I've played it wise too long to say that I was wrong
From the kisses in the alley to the sun-kissed valley
I've broken every vow
I've never used three words where two would be enough
And I can't start now

And every new day dawns to beat me
I'm on the ropes, but I'm hangin' in
But for us to survive I feel I'd be taking a dive
And I cannot win

I hid it all with pride while time was on my side
From the echoing alley to the sun-kissed valley
I made it through somehow
But she had made me start to open up my heart
And I can't stop now
