Don't Call It Timing: lyrics
- You’re leaning in the doorframe like you own the wood,
- Looking for a soft place where a hard heart stood.
- You say you saw a sign in the changing of the leaves,
- But I don’t believe in magic, and I don't believe in thieves.
- I traded in my patience for a little peace of mind,
- Now you’re standing on my porch like you’re doing something kind.
- Don’t call it timing,
- Don’t call it fate.
- You’re just a little too hungry
- And a whole lot too late.
- Don’t call it timing,
- Don’t call it fate.
- You only want the garden
- Since I locked the front gate.
- I spent a dozen winters just waiting for the thaw,
- While you were keeping count of every single flaw.
- Now I’ve finally found my footing and I’ve cleared the air,
- And suddenly you’re noticing the color of my hair.
- It isn’t cosmic alignment that brought you to this hill,
- It’s just that you’re lonely, and I’ve got a space to fill.
- Don’t call it timing,
- Don’t call it fate.
- You’re just a little too hungry
- And a whole lot too late.
- Don’t call it timing,
- Don’t call it fate.
- You only want the garden
- Since I locked the front gate.
- The clock on the wall didn’t stop for your regret,
- The sun didn’t pause just to let us reset.
- It’s easy to love what you can’t lean upon,
- You’re only in love now that I’m really gone.
- Don’t call it timing,
- Don’t call it fate.
- You’re just a little too hungry
- And a whole lot too late.
- Don’t call it timing,
- Don’t call it fate.
- You only want the garden
- Since I locked the front gate.
