Won't Obey

In a thousand years
You wonder how it'd be
To walk the ancient yards
Of all the places left
Abandoned or eclipsed
Would you notice still
The ones we'd once called home?
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how

This heart aches on and on for you
Forever, all the days we'd lose
Wishing that something
Beautiful would stay
Better keep moving on and on
And on and on and on and on
Better keep moving

You start turning back
Wondering how it's fared
Your love, all overgrown
I want to take you there
Where we can never go
I want to show you how
The garden's spilled over
I want to show you how
This heart aches on and on
This heart aches on and on

Performed by Stray Fossa (W. Evans, N. Evans, Z. Blount)

Lyrics: 
time time time 
who cares if it lasts? 
got a whole new life 
just to think of the past 

time time time
can't you feel it's moving fast?
with you hands on my hips
I swear it used to stand still 

don't say it's over
lets go backwards, it's closer
don't say it's over 
come on, we've never been closer!

time time time 
I'm in the palm of your hand
with you my darkest secrets
they'll run out in the sand

time time time 
with you the promise of change
put your hands on my hips 
lets pretend we still fit

don't say it's over
lets go backwards, it's closer
don't say it's over 
come on, we've never been closer!

all I do is pretend
(hold on, don't say it!) 
think it's time that this ends
(hold on, don't say it!) 
running right out of my hands
(hold on, don't say it!) 
I think it's time this ends

this time, it's over
the world will keep moving forward
it's time, it's over
it's alright to still love her

Time Time Time (I'm in the Palm of Your Hand)
