Times Like These - Expatriate

Yeah, it’s true

I’ve been in love with the ghost of a girl

She comes to me

In the middle of the night in my sleep

In my room where time stands still

I watch her dance in the night

But soon the dawn will come, then I’ll wake up

She’ll be gone with the light

Only wanted to give it time

Time is on our side

When you move the way you do

It breaks down all of the walls

I’ve built up through the years

I’ve built up to survive

The times like these

In the middle of the night

Wake up, wake up

Here’s the day

Clean out your heart

And say what you want to say

A dreams a dream

Leave it at that

You know in the night

She’ll be coming back

She’ll take my hand

For a road into the city

A road into the city

She’ll take my hand

And we’ll fly away, fly away

Only wanted to give it time

Time is on our side

When you move the way you do

It breaks down all of the walls

I’ve built up through the years

I’ve built up to survive

The times like these

In the middle of the night

We come here nightly

To talk about it quietly

Speak about it all of the time

Yeah, the words

They roll out of your mouth so easily

I don’t even know the next line

Only wanted to give it time

Time is on our side

When you move the way you do

It breaks down all of the walls

I’ve built up through the years

I’ve built up to survive

The times like these

In the middle of the night
