Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me
I could honestly say
That things could only get better
[Verse 2]
And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long
Before you and me run
To the place in our hearts
Where we hide
[Verse 3]
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
[Verse 4]
Stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second
Without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man
[Verse 5]
Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
Oh more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself
[Verse 6]
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
[Verse 7]
Wait on me girl
And cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever
I simply love you
More than I love life itself
[Verse 8]
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
[Verse 9]
Laughing like children, living like lovers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Laughing like children, living like lovers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues
