Expatriate Times Like These
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
