I watch the morning dawn upon your skin

A splinter in the light

It caught and frayed the very heart of us

It's been hiding there inside for all this time

How a sure thing winds up just like this

Clockwork silence only knows

And it's no one's fault

There's no black and white

Only you and me

On this endless night

And as the hours run away

With another life

Oh, darling can't you see

It's now or never

It's now or never

Sweeping eggshells still at 3 A.M.

We're trying far too hard

The tattered thought balloons above our heads

Sinking in the weight of all we need to say

Why's and what if's have since long played out

Left us short on happy endings

And it's no one's fault

There's no black and white

Only you and me

On this endless night

And as the hours run away

With another life

Oh, darling can't you see

It's now or never

It's now or never

You know that there's so much more

And it's no one's fault

There's no black and white

Only you and me

On our final night

And as the hours run away

With another life

Oh, darling can't you see

It's now or never

It's now or never
