"(UR) When the nights seem a little colder When you seem to not be listening to the things that I told ya When my heart and thoughts can no longer hold ya Is this thing getting old to ya? (Is it? Tell me…) 'Cause it's funny... Love can be so strong & at the same time...so fragile And rite now...I'm feeling like... you've stopped viewing what we have as valuable Something to treasure, to invest in, to defend And rite now...I'm feeling like... our dream...my dream...is coming to an end (Is it? Tell me…) When the nights seem a little colder When you seem to not be listening to the things that I told ya When my heart and thoughts can no longer hold ya Is this thing getting old to ya? (Is it? Tell me…) (JV) looking for the architect of my heart, looking for the architect of my heart if you see him, tell him, i don't believe him, i can't use this organ, he's done wrong 88 keys are all i need, no heart string bleeding seeking fleeting, love's just poetry (UR) 'Cause you've got your politics of loving, and... I've got mine And this ain't no pantomime And I don't wanna move and fake I wanna live in realtime So if we can't bring it back rewind I guess it's time (Is it? Tell me…)"
