It's springtime, and you're not here
I'm on the West Side, watching the sun disappear
The waves dance under my bare feet
This isn't Paris, but loneliness tastes so sweet

The world is moving faster
I just can't keep it up
Call me when it's over
When I'm a particle of dust
And my friends are falling backwards
They say all we need is love
But I'll be fighting demons
'Til the future takes it all

It's the New Year, and you're not here
I'm on the East Side, watching my drink disappear
The clock ticks, and I don't feel a thing
This isn't perfect, but maybe, it's still the peak

The world is moving faster (It's moving faster)
And I just can't keep up (I just can't keep up)
Call me when it's over (When it's over)
When I'm a particle of dust (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And my friends are falling backwards (Falling backwards)
They say all we need is love (All we need is love)
But I'll be fighting demons (Fighting demons)
'Til the future takes it all (Yeah, yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
