Yeah, havin' been by that old bank tower

I'm inclined to wonder why you feel so strong?

You can't have really seen the hour

If you think she's trying to do you wrong

I see you got that lump in your throat

I hear you mumblin', that's all she wrote

Love is in the next room drinkin' antidote



You ought to know that girl by now

She'll never settle down anyhow

You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast



Broken glass turns back to flint and sand

I only cease to love as love demands

As you know it takes a while to clap those

Fragments from your idle hands

Couple months could dry a sea of tears

Leave only salt beneath our dried up piers

We won't believe we cared, I swear, in a couple years



You ought to know that girl by now

She'll never settle down anyhow

You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast



If time heals all wounds, don't you know that

Time also deals them?

The days go by, and now everybody feels them

We struggle with our fates but our action only seals them



They say that murder ain't the fault of the weapon

I'm smokin' sad to be the gun

I want to blow you all away but I don't want to put

No bullets into anyone



I see the feathers that infringe your heart

I see the blood ooze from around the dart

Cupid spites the sense that keeps two

Mismatched souls apart



You ought to know that girl by now

She'll never settle down anyhow

You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast



You ought to know that girl by now

She'll never settle down anyhow

You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast



You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast

You let your heart go too fast
