Two Minutes from The Heights by Linda Ronald

He caught her up in his arms
It’s been such a long time
Where've you been hiding?

He couldn’t disguise
The delight on his face
Thinking of that moment
She’d catch herself smiling

And she told herself
She’d make it right
The next time they met

How could she know
This was a moment
She’d always regret

She took a cab, drove away
She hoped that she’d feel good about it
When tomorrow came
Told herself next time she wouldn’t run
She promised herself
That next time she’d be brave

She didn’t know till that night
She wasn’t prepared
Hey it’s all about timing

She couldn’t deny
That she wanted to stay
But she didn’t have the conviction to own it

And she told herself
She’d tell it straight
The next time they met

how could she know
It was a decision she’d always regret

She took a cab, drove away
She hoped that she’d feel good about it
When tomorrow came
Told herself next time she wouldn’t run
She promised herself
That next time she’d be brave
But next time didn’t come
Next time didn’t come

Didn’t know I would see you tonight
Be back in two minutes
Then I won’t let you out of my sight

But two minutes is all that it takes
To jump in a taxi, to make a mistake

But she told herself
She’d make it right
The next time they met

how could she know
It was a moment
She’d always regret

She took a cab, drove away
She hoped that she’d feel good about it
When tomorrow came
Told herself next time she wouldn’t run
She promised herself
That next time she’d be brave

She took a cab, drove away
She hoped that she’d feel good about it
When tomorrow came
Told herself next time she wouldn’t run
She promised herself
That next time she’d be brave
But next time didn’t come
Next time didn’t come
