In the Blink of an Eye Lyrics by Jesse Ruben

Thoughts I’ve Never Had Before, Part 1 - EP

2012

[Verse 1]
Seventeen months in the blink of an eye
Got a brand new apartment and a dog named Spike
I got a car that don't work and a job I don't like
And I'm not sure I love my wife
[Chorus 1]
I know that you wish we were richer
I know this ain't what you pictured but I'm
Doing the best I can
And I ain't one to walk away
Never backed out of anything
But babe, we need a better plan
So let's just call it love while we can, while we can
[Verse 2]
Twenty-eight years in the blink of an eye
Raised a couple good kids, drank a lot of good wine
And I really wanna travel but she hates to fly
And I'm not sure I love my wife
[Chorus 2]
I know that you've been so confronted
I know this ain't what you wanted but babe
I'm running out of tricks
And I ain't one to walk away
Never backed out of anything
But babe, the signs ain't hard to miss
So let's just call it love the way it is, the way it is
[Verse 3]
Fifty-eight years in the blink of an eye
Now our kids have kids and we're always tired
And it doesn't really matter if I love my wife
Cause she's still with me after all this time
[Chorus 3]
I know it isn't always perfect
No it doesn't always work but babe
I didn't wanna try
And I ain't one to walk away
Never backed out of anything
But babe, I'm glad there's no surprise
So let's just call it love without the lies
Let's just call it love until it dies
Let's just call it love
Let's just call it love
