One, two, three, four, we start
To break each other's hearts
With a song you sing
In a fractured melody
I don't want this to stop
To take this time apart
Can only save
All of us from going insane
Sixteen bars and sixteen phrases
Darling I can hardly wait
For your ascension to take place
At once too early and too late
This hit should feel like a kiss
When I say what I think of this
A perfect take of our mistakes
At once too early and too late
Your scattered poetry
Can bring me to my knees
My ordinary thoughts
Are too easy to take apart
One, two, three, four, we go
To play another show
For the bands we know
In the bars we've made our second home
Oh, I know it's been so hard
To show all of the world your scars
Sixteen bars and sixteen phrases
Darling I can hardly wait
For your ascension to take place
At once too early and too late
This hit should feel like a kiss
When I say what I think of this
A perfect take of our mistakes
At once too early and too late
