But baby that's a long time
To be pacing 'round the house
In the middle of the night
Saying, "We're fine, we're fine"
The first time you stayed at my house in New York,
Caught in a panic that when you left for Paris,
And you're crying and asking
And stay together after you left
And whispering under my breath
But baby, that's a long time
To be pacing 'round the house
In the middle of the night
Saying, "We're fine, we're fine"
But baby, that's a long time
To be pacing 'round the house
In the middle of the night
Saying, "We're fine, we're fine"
I keep repeating mistakes like they're
but fell far too slowly for her to feel we could be safe
So she's saying she's happy
but scared that at any one
Minute I might change my mind
And I'm lying there with her
Her fears aren't justified
But baby, that's a long time
To be pacing 'round the house
In the middle of the night
Saying, "We're fine, we're fine"
But baby, that's a long time
To be pacing 'round the house
In the middle of the night
Saying, "We're fine, we're fine"
I wouldn't mind waiting around
We both had our lives to live
And we knew what we could live without
Wouldn't mind waiting around
We both have our lives to live
And we learned what we could live without
