Momentary Thief

Well I never won you over
I just caught you on a good day
We were laughing in the back of an old city taxi
With no mention of my borrowed time
Just the glow of the whiskey and the holiday lights

Well there's no need to name this
Because we're just going to call it a day
So you can run out in the front yard
And just wave goodbye to the plane
But I remember the corner
The bar and the moment
That I came un-tethered and fell
Into that scene from my favorite movie
Yeah, you know the one

Well, I'll tell you what
I'll save you the trouble of running away
Yeah, I'll tell you what
I'll save you the trouble of running away yeah
I'm already gone out the door
And I stole this moment for me
This moment for me

Well you're no kind of contrast
To all my somber ways
We may as well have a picnic darlin'
Out in the driving, pouring rain
But I'll just carry on
Pretend that's just how I'm inclined
So you better grab a hold of something
Steady, steady
‘Cause I'm cutting the line

But I remember your shoulder
Your breath and the moment
That I came un-tethered
And I danced
Into that dream
The one where you kiss me
And then the camera flashed

Well, I'll tell you what
I'll save you the trouble of running away
Yeah, I'll tell you what
I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah
I'm already gone out the door
And I stole this moment for me
This moment for me
Indelible and bright
