The Mends - Second & A Half Lyrics

And for a second and a half
I thought you played into my part
But a moment away
I figured too good to stay
And with a turn of a phrase
You stepped away from the blaze
And slowly counted back from 7
I thought you're as good
As anyone I saw
But that does not give you
The license to glow
You have to tell me your name
You have to play up your game
And trace for me the path to heaven
To heaven
Take me to the roof
Let me see the view
Elevators take forever
Let me feel the night
Soak up city lights
We can be in this together
Together
Now the second day is gone
We're working dead the phone
No one seems to pay attention
Daylight coming in
Ready to give in
Only thing I get is venom
And for a second and a half
I thought you played into my part
But a moment away
I figured too good to stay
And with a turn of a phrase
You stepped away from the blaze
And slowly counted back from seven
From seven
Take me to the roof
Let me see the view
Elevators take forever
Let me feel the night
Soak up city lights
We can be in this together
Take me to the roof
Let me see the view
Elevators take forever
Let me feel the night
Soak up city lights
We can be in this together
Together
Take me to the roof
Let me see the view
Elevators take forever
Let me feel the night
Soak up city lights
We can be in this together
Take me to the roof
Let me see the view
Elevators take forever
Let me feel the night
Soak up city lights
We can be in this together
Together
