[Verse 1] Ive been thinking back to when we used to share a drink on midnight walks When youd pretend your winter breath was cigarette smoke in your lungs Id fight the urge to give you all the worst advice about the ones you liked You called it chemistry, I called it earning bragging rights Knowing damn well if I told you how I felt, Id crack the ice Roll the dice [Chorus] Youre just a second away from being in love or alone What you dont know Is that each second you waste is a breath you dont take Its a moment you wasted [Verse 2] Ive been thinking back to that night on your front step when I held you as you wept We sat awhile in silence, but I was screaming in my head How to tell you, if I should What to say, if I even could And if that moment came, would it simply hang forever? So I always try to live vicariously through my friends You call it chemistry, I call it perfect timing instead Watching all them fall in love, and wondering if I will again [Chorus] Youre just a second away from being in love or alone What you dont know Is that each second you waste is a breath you dont take Its a moment you wasted [Bridge] Youre playing catch with .22 For once its out youve got to choose But if you choose to hold it in Then wheres the chance to begin new love? Who knows, maybe shes the one I bet theres so many more than just the one [Chorus] Youre just a second away from being in love or alone What you dont know Is that each second you waste is a breath you dont take Its a moment you wasted [Outro] Just falling asleep with you is enough to keep me hanging on Whether or not we ever evolve If all that we are is paint on a wall, waiting to peel off Then poison the well and pour me a cup, drink up
