Time and Space

3:30am Chicago
When I asked you: how'd it get so late?
In a couple days I'd fly home
And you'd go back to the UK

Oh, I wish I could just forget
The way our story ends
And go back to when I
Didn't know
You'd forget me the second that you got home
Didn't know you had someone
You've been holding on to
And can't let her go
And you know
I would take the next flight out
But I doubt you'd do the same
I would wait, but you wouldn't
Maybe that means we're in a different place
I want your time
And you want your space

8:30am in London
Are you sleeping at her flat?
(Did you give in? Did you go back?)
Oh, it's after midnight in LA
I'm up at my apartment
'Cause I can't sleep at the thought of that

Oh, I wish I could just pretend
Our story didn't end
And go back to when I
Didn't know
You'd forget me the second that you got home
Didn't know you had someone
You've been holding on to
And can't let her go
And you know
I would take the next flight out
But I doubt you'd do the same
I would wait, but you wouldn't
Maybe that means we're in a different place
I want your time
And you want your space

Hmm
Hmm

Oh, it's after midnight in LA
I'm up at my apartment
Oh, I know that we're in a different place
'Cause I want your time
You want your space
