1000 Seconds Lyrics - Singles - The Secret Machines

I must admit it's a balancing act 

It looks dangerous, that's part of it 

Remember, don't look down 

You and I standing in a crowded room 

We were pressed together but we're holding on 

Like we're all that was, that's all there was 

In a flash of light 

We were drunk, we were having a fight 

I was wrong, that don't mean you were right 

Then you played that song 

It was a thousand seconds long 

It didn't end, seemed to play on all night 

'Cause if I remember right I fell asleep there 

Rainclouds passed and darkened more 

An evening touched by waiting for the sky burst 

Storms had gathered in crushing lines 

I surrendered to a way that I remember you 

Now it's all there was 

If I were forced to choose 

What I have, I have to lose 

I need love, that don't mean I need you 

It started with that song 

It was a thousand seconds long 

It didn't end 'cause we never got through 

And did you think that I had planned it all along 

Hoping not to be alone? 

Well, I was there on the edge of the rush 

And did you leave because you thought that I would stay 

Stricken with a holy fright? 

It was clear as the night in the cold 

An' I won't ever know what you're afraid of 

And when the world ends 

A thousand seconds too 

We'll watch the time pass 

Run through the high end too 

And then we'll wait there 

A thousand seconds too 

That's when it all ends 

A thousand seconds too
