Do the mornings still come early?
Are the nights not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch?
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know.
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
Maybe lie and let your feelings
Grow accustomed to the dark,
And by morning's light, you might solve
The problems of the heart.
And it all might be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know.
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
People reach new understandings all the time.
They take a second look, maybe change their minds.
People reach new understandings everyday.
Tell me not to reach, babe, and I'll go away.
But do the mornings still come early,
Are the nights not long enough?
Does a tear of hesitation
Fall on everything you touch?
Well, it might just be a lesson
For the hasty heart to know.
Maybe leavin's not the only way to go
