Landslide Songtext
von James Walker

"Dream on, man," that′s what you told me
When I said I loved you in the park inside the city
You said, "I don't mind if we take our time
But you know I′m not one to take chances"

So I wrapped it up and set it down again
And I said, "I can't help it, it's the way that I′ve been feeling"
And I stood by your side with my hands in my pockets
Wishing I′d never said anything at all

But it's alright, it′s okay
When the cold wind blows, you know you better weather it away
Guess in time, it'll work out fine
I hope you′re waiting for me when I cross the finish line


I spend most evenings here pretending
That you hear the little hints I drop in conversation
And I pray some nights that they don't put you off me
′Cause each and every good time happens over coffee
With you, oh, with you, oh, with you, oh

But I'm near exhausted from all this running
And in the distance, I see the ending line approaching
And I shut my eyes, clutch my alibi
While I hope you're there waiting in the distance

The critics are calling in a landslide
A standing ovation for the first time in a long time
And I shut my eyes and your lips met mine
And we talked about trading this future for our past
