15 Minutes Lyrics by Every So Often

Every So Often

[Verse 1]
You were 15 minutes late
On the night of our first date
When you called me, said "I'm backed up on the 118, not sure how long this'll take"
So I had 15 minutes think
About the kind of songs you'd sing
If you were alone on the 118 with nothing to do but wait
Maybe it's the Beatles or the Rolling Stones
Or maybe you're a rebel yelling out The Ramones
Is it Ke$ha or Beyonce or Halsey or all of the above?
And when I saw you walk through that door
Of that old back street record store
I was thinking maybe this could bе the night I would fall in love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you said "sorry I'm a mess tonight
Latеly I've just had a war to fight
But for tonight let's let that fade away"
Maybe it was just the look in your eyes
Or maybe it was just a trick of the light
But I could tell that we were both thinking
"Okay, this is gonna sound insane but..."
[Chorus]
Tell me if the lights went out would you break these chains and break for the outside?
We'll run until our legs give out just to make sure we're still alive
Can you hear the melodies in the sirens calling out for the first time
Take my hand and tell me have you ever felt so alive
[Verse 2]
In the Friday evening light
There was a magic in your eyes
As we drowned the hours in the audio, listening to records that we couldn't afford
We talked about our favourite bands
And how we're both in love with Van McCann
Talked about the lives that we've been living and the friends we never see anymore
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And as we stood at the water's edge
And watched the sky fall above heads
You lit a match and let it light the way
And as the harbour filled with stars
I was falling into your arms
So could we stay like this for a while?
And you said "god I thought you'd never ask"
[Chorus]
Tell me if the lights went out would you break these chains and break for the outside?
We'll run until our legs give out just to make sure we're still alive
Can you hear the melodies in the sirens calling out for the first time
Take my hand and tell me have you ever felt so alive
[Bridge]
And even if we crash and burn
Let's be a story for us to tell
Let's get lost, let's make every wrong turn
Let's take a photo every risk we take
A collection of all our best mistakes
[Chorus]
Tell me if the lights went out would you break these chains and break for the outside?
We'll run until our legs give out just to make sure we're still alive
Can you hear the melodies in the sirens calling out for the first time
Take my hand and tell me have you ever felt so alive
Have you ever felt so alive
Every moment there's a way to escape
Chasing the sun like we're 15 minutes late
