Don't tell me if you love me, babe
It wouldn't change the million ways
You dug me out a darker place
So buried underneath
I used to pick the flowers out
The sills from my old Downer's house
And give their life to bring about
A smile from you to me

I wish I met you later than
The summer shot from heaven when
The people weren't so nice, but then
They'd all pretend to be
If I knew you now we'd drive around
I'd cry a bit, you'd calm me down
I'd blush a bit, and say "what now? "
And you would say to me

"We should go out dancing
We should go out dancing
We should go out dancing"
I know we never will
I know we never will
Not in all the time to kill

I know we never will
But I dream of it all still
Dream of you and time
Only you and time to kill

And we will
And you'll lose your touch
While growing up
And out of love with me
There's no one left of who we were
There's nothing left to do but hurt
There's somewhere you should be, but first
Hold me before you leave
'Cause if we're going down, then baby

We should go down dancing
We should go down dancing
We should go down dancing
I know somewhere we will
I know some way we will
In another life we will

I'd tell you how I feel
And we'd be together still
It'd be you and time
Only you and time
If I had more time
It'd be you and time
[Outro]
And, baby, I've tried
Maybe I'll catch your eye
Next time
