You, there was once a minute before you
Placed like a gates of heaven I walked through
But all too soon they brought me back to life

True, some thing take forever that felt true
The first call, fall, September
Losing you, but all I had to do was watch the time
And know that no one stops the world from turning
Every minute that you live's a minute long

And 3 hours have passed since I took my mind off of you
3 hours have passed since your last thought tried to run through
3 hours have past since a minute that I missed you
3 hours have passed, it'll be four before you know it
I'll lose count if you don't count the 3 hours that passed

Sweet and bitter like the wine you left to breathe
But didn't drink in time now sour and cheap
At least it leaves a ring to mark the night
As candles dry

But you can't light the same fires that you burned through
And like a river, all the waters gone and changed
But still runs the same

And 3 hours have passed since I took my mind off of you
3 hours have passed since your last thought tried to run through
3 hours have past since a minute that I missed you
3 hours have passed, it'll be four before you know it
I'll lose count if you don't count the 3 hours that passed

3 hours have passed since I took my mind off of you
3 hours have passed since your last thought tried to run through
3 hours have past since a minute that I missed you
3 hours have passed, it'll be four before you know it
I'll lose count if you don't count the 3 hours that passed
