I pulled it off as an act
So you wouldn't notice
That what you saw
Was actually me

We talked about all
Except from what mattered
It summons up
What we will be
What we will be

I could never tell
Tell you I loved you
It was always too early
Now it's too late

Down by the riverbanks
Of the Missisippi
Patience told me
To wait
To wait

I'll keep the words right here
In the bottom drawer
Hidden away
Like a crime

Maybe one day
We'll be able to say them
Until then
We're serving our time
For our crime
