"You Let Your Heart Go Too Fast"
Well having been by that old bank tower
Inclined to wonder why you feel so strong
You can't have really seen the hour
If you think she's trying to do you wrong
I see you got that lump in your throat and
I hear you mumbling "That's all she wrote"
And love is in the next room drinking the antidote
You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
Broken glass turns back to flint and sand
I only cease to love as love demands
As you know it takes a while to clap those
Fragments from your idle hands
A couple months could dry a sea of tears
Leave only salt beneath our dried-up piers
We won't believe we cared I swear in a couple of years
You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
If time heals all wounds don't you know that
Time also deals them
The days go by
Everybody feels them
We struggle with our fates
But our action only seals them
You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
You ought to know that girl by now
She'll never settle down anyhow
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
You let your heart go too fast
