At any rate
words by Phoebe Hemsley
Why does my heart always beat so slow
lagging tempo, losing time
when it seems like I’m always chasing your shadow
melting into the sunset, dripping from the skyline
Why does the bell chime so soon
it rings not for me but for you
A pair of lovers sharing a past and a future
Half true of me, perhaps, but never for you
Why does the mist fade so fast
When I was getting used to the haze
When I thought all was gone but it flared up again
And I stumble and stutter my words in a daze
lagging tempo, losing time
when it seems like I’m always chasing your shadow
melting into the sunset, dripping from the skyline
Why does the bell chime so soon
it rings not for me but for you
A pair of lovers sharing a past and a future
Half true of me, perhaps, but never for you
Why does the mist fade so fast
When I was getting used to the haze
When I thought all was gone but it flared up again
And I stumble and stutter my words in a daze
