champagne pale

When hello turns to oh hell
And oh hey turns to oh well
And all the ice is melted in the champagne pale
Will you bail or let love prevail?

When her girlish giggle becomes a grunt
And dead confessions come back to haunt
From answering on the first ring to waiting until the last one
Before the voice mail clicks on
Love's not here to answer your call because its gone
But if you could leave a message at the sound of the beep
Would it be so wrong to say so long for a week?
Feeling like something new
Something borrowed something who
Could replace the thrill of the chase that was once me after you
The memories captured thru the tears and laughter too
Get smeared over years of bills, kids and compromise
Now my only prize is a stranger's wandering eyes
Walking into mine
And for a sand's grain of time I'll hide
Until my soul is satisfied
Why do you say you love me with the saddest eyes?
Thought destiny had us tied
But what we've become is hostages to the each
If we can't let go then how can we reach?
If we can let go then how can we teach
Lessons in forever and never saying never?

When hello turns to oh hell
And oh hey turns to oh well
And all the ice is melted in the champagne pale
Will you bail or let love prevail?
