So close if I turned one moment sooner
If the man at the bank had gotten my name right the first time
Stopping for those crazy geese to cross
Maybe then I'd be the one standing there

Instead I'm laying in my bed
Daydreaming about you
Is that the difference
Slight variations
Of time
In time
Bring us
Where we are
Remembering the first time
Or the last time

The elevator door opened wrong floor
If the bus I missed had been two minutes sooner, that's it babe
Taking two extra sips of my green tea
So that I'd be the one near those eyes

Instead I'm laying in my bed
Daydreaming about you
Is that the difference
Slight variations
Of time
In time
Bring us
Where we are
Remembering the first time
Or the last time

Or if I had just said the words slow
Just two more minutes was needed to tell you, sweet, what you do
you know I tried, but my heart was so loud
In my mouth and my soul being so close

Instead I'm laying in my bed
Daydreaming about you
Is that the difference
Slight variations
Of time
In time
Bring us
Where we are
Remembering the first time
Or the last time

Now, seems the blanket is soft on my bare feet
But my heart is exposed, denied by seconds, time away
Turn over and pretend; time to start the day
Time for more missed opportunities
