You're gonna catch a cold in the rain
I can't explain
With every movement, every step nearer, it breaks
So I watch you get into your car
This street and the next street's not far enough so I can be safe
And only when I look at you in the rearview, receding
Still bleeding for perspective, yet you'll be something much smaller
Can I call it most trivial?
Can I put it down to a lesson learned?
Put it down to experience
Still it took me too long
And it took me not long enough
Now and again
I might still pretend it ended as it started
I'm startled and awake
See the poltroon, see the rake
We may shiver and, as I shake, you keep taking advantage
See the bruises, see the bandage
I'll manage with the ache
And I won't call you
But can I call it most trivial?
Can I put it down to a lesson learned?
Put it down to experience
Still it took me too long
And it took me not long
It took me too long
And it took me not long
It took me too long
And it took me not long
It took me too long
And it took me not, not, not long enough
