Lyrics

I said I would be there by noon
But I’m on Mexican time
that really means by two  
if I come at all

We climbed to the roof and stared at the moon on a Friday night
and in the light of the moon I looked at you
you said, honey what are we gonna do?  

Time is running out on us
Turning into dust
Go back and get those extra hours you threw away
And spend your Mexican time with me

We walked by the river and you held my hand
Wished we were walking in waves
Laying footprints in the sand
but you don’t like the beach

So I turned the sound of silence up to loud
And started listening
But I knew all the words and I’m not sure how
You said, honey what are you thinkin’ bout?  

Time is running out on us
Turning into dust
Go back and get those extra hours you threw away
And spend your Mexican time with me

When I look at the sky above
Seems like there ain't no limit to love
It's floating through the air
Whether you’re here and I’m way up there
It doesn’t even cost a thing
Don’t need no papers or a diamond ring
One thing we can control
Are the nights we fall asleep just hooolding on
Hold on, hold on to me

Time is running out on us
Turning into dust
Go back and get those extra hours you threw away
And spend your Mexican time with me
