14 Hours from TKY by Yo-Yo & the Chaplain

We slow danced on the roof
Underneath the misting rain
The distant lights of our memories
Formed the cityscape backdrop of our masquerade

We drank in the mismatched purple
Of the wine and sky
Leaving things unsaid
No how, no what, no why

I'm just a little lonely
And I have been for some time
I could use some friendly company
Take your time to make up your mind

Chorus:
It took me 14 hours to be where I don't want to
To realize
That after 14 hours I don't know where I stand with you
And that ain't such a bad surprise

From the girl that you were to the woman you are
I have watched you grow
There's an hourglass down in my bones
Tells me when it's time to let you go

'Cause as you have grown you have traveled afar
To a rhythm only you hear
And I am adrift in the waves
Trying to make sense of all these years

And I'm just a little lonely
And I have been for some time
I could use some friendly company
Even when you're not, you're still mine

Chorus

In those in-between moments
I hear echoes bouncing back to me
The promises and nothings that we
Whispered beneath that cherry blossom canopy
Was it just because we were young
Solemn hearts making foolish vows
Before the rising sun?

I don't want you to pretend or deceive
I am just around the bend
Whenever you need me
(Whenever you need me)

Chorus

It took me 14 hours of missing you terribly
To realize
That after 14 hours, I know where you stand with me
You'll always be in my heart and in my life

And I'm just a little lonely
And I have been for some time
I could use some friendly company
Take your time, I will be just fine
