MD, part-time lovers Video (MV)

Think I need to make amends before I start
Back in '07 thought I broke a heart
Weird time to be oddly specific
But how much love fits in this auburn Civic
Is it enough to justify the pain it caused
Swirling in my Rita's chair, hoping for a miracle
When instead all I had to do was open up
But I kept my mouth closed and I kept my eyes shut
Think the icing on the cake wasn't the coldest thing in this place

While I run with the track team
From the nightfall, chasing light beams
The spring breeze cools us down
The sun sets early in the west
And how the hell could I forget to clarify
I'm so sorry, that I failed you

Is it adequate to put it into words
Or presumptious to assume how much it hurt
Never really good at part-time-loving
But couldn't hit the breaks so it was full-time sobbing
I feel stupid writing this so many years too late
Pray for time to pass slower in the states
You were always modest, always understanding
Could we please move that 747 landing until today
Until I'm grown enough to know my place
Until open arms and open hearts become a lived standard and something that I truly embrace

While I run with the track team
From the nightfall, chasing light beams
The spring breeze cools us down
The sun sets early in the west
And how the hell could I forget to clarify
I'm so sorry, that I failed you
