Buying Time Lyrics by Colbie Caillat

Along the Way

2023

[Verse 1]
When do you say goodbye
To something that meant so much?
How long do lovers try
'Til they give in and just give up?
I don't wanna be the first
But I know what we need to say
It's right on the tip of our tongues
'Til we kiss it away
[Chorus]
We know what's in the cards
Something's gonna break
The letting go gets harder, babe
The longer that we wait
I wish love could be enough
To keep livin' a lie
But let's not talk about it now
If only for tonight
It don't matter what it costs
Let's keep buying time
[Post-Chorus]
Buying time
[Verse 2]
Pour us a little wine
Leave all the lights down low
Let's hold on a little longer
Like we don't know
[Chorus]
But we know what's in the cards
Something's gonna break
The letting go gets harder, babe
The longer that we wait
I wish love could be enough
To keep livin' a lie
But let's not talk about it now
If only for tonight
It don't matter what it costs
Let's keep buying time
[Bridge]
Take me by the hand
Let's slow it down with a slow dance
Hold on, long as we can
[Chorus]
We know what's in the cards
Something's gonna break
The letting go gets harder, babe
The longer that we wait
I wish love could be enough
To keep livin' a lie
But let's not talk about it now
If only for tonight
It don't matter what it costs
Let's keep buying time
[Post-Chorus]
Buying time
Buying time
Let's keep buying time
