Till Then from Classic Hits by Cities & States

Strawberry chocolate and a bottle of champagne,
Homemade sangria that we drank on your birthday,
Romantic island--just the two of us in bed,
Allergic reaction makes you smack your forehead.

Whoever quotes these things, well here's another one,
You cannot force the earth to swing around the sun,
And whatever happens has a way of working out,
Even true love lies in the shadow of a doubt.

(Chorus)
But I won't give up, even if I'm dead,
I'll find a tear in the universal thread,
And we'll be together again.

I take for granted all the contents of my heart,
Until I'm inside-out and conscious of each part,
I only get to lay beside you in my thoughts,
Till I'm beside myself, you're all the will I've got.

These tiny memories exploded in my dreams,
And then I woke up captain of the losing team,
I wouldn't blame you if you walked another road,
Just keep the key in case you find your way back home.

(Chorus)
'Cause I won't lock the door, or take away your plate,
I'll let the candle burn until it's late,
Girl I've got the time to wait....

(Coda)
I wouldn't mind if you stole my affection,
It's already yours truth be told,
And when you're prepared to complete the collection,
Let me be the fool to make you whole.
