"Run Time" lyrics - IMOGEN HEAP

IMOGEN HEAP
"Run Time"

Sparks might fly in no time
It's a delayed reaction of the third kind
Oh I'm so ready for this
Shrink-wrapped songs
I couldn't face the music
'Cause dark matters bonded us way beyond our 'best by' date

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
So no hard feelings
We've done all we could and all we can
I'm done pretending
Let's quit while we're still friends

Making up stories
They grew to be too tall
My fortress to forget
Couldn't take any more
You nearly watched me ruin everything, everything
It's the #1 rule of "Don't Do's"
Well you knew it all too well
You were supposed to be looking out for me
Have you any idea how difficult it's been?

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
So no hard feelings
We've done all we could and all we can
Let's save ourselves a sorry ending

You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
But this is as far as we can stretch
Let's stop pretending
Stop pretending
And quit while we're still friends

Well I was so young
Misguided, maybe
But still this hangs over my every pen to paper
And this all started with a song
Let this be our last one

Drop

Good good
Bad bad
Good good good
And bad bad bad

We've had it good, we've had it bad
This is as far as we can stretch
Stop pretending
And quit while we're still friends

I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well, wish you well, wish you well

I wish you well, wish you well
I won't tell if you won't tell
I won't hold it against you if you bow out gracefully
Can we just not drag this out, please?

I wish you well, wish you well
I won't tell if you won't tell
I won't hold it against you if you bow out gracefully
Can we just not drag this out?
