Bones Letra

that time is gone

cuz you can't say that you can't swim
the turn around and jump right in
say come on in the water's fine
why are you crying?

if ever there was a worse time than this
if ever there was a worse idea than to kiss me
I can't think of what it would be
I can't think at all so help me

you can't say that you can't fly
then wave to me from way on high
say come on up the air is clear
why are you just standing there?

oh my love for you it is a changing thing
like the world outside my window
and oh yes
my patience for you it is a shrinking thing
like bones

there's nothing so sweet as a new friend
with no past and a present with no end
but all shiny things must fade
she's just filled the space that you made

cuz you can't say that you can't sing
then be the song the morning brings
sing it to me one more time
why are you still crying?

oh my love for you it is a changing thing
like the world outside my window
and oh yes
my patience for you it is a shrinking thing
like bones

bones that break and bones that shatter
that bone that juts out above her collar
the thing that's shaken me to my bones
is the thing I've come to know?

if ever there was a time to tell me
if ever there was a time to touch me too long
if ever there was a time to be our time,
that time is gone
that time is gone

oh my love for you it is a changing thing
like the world outside my window
and oh yes
my patience for you it is a shrinking thing
it is a shrinking thin
oh my love for you it is a changing thing
like the world outside my window
and oh yes
my patience for you it is a shrinking thing
like bones
