about

It's just a temporary thing... no big deal
(sure)

lyrics

If I tell you a story
Would you believe it's true
If I change the names and place the blame
On the crazy things we do
From the very beginning
Everything she did was wrong
At every choice there's her mother's voice
Even though it's been so long

So I could tell you a story
Or we could just pretend
But I will sing this temporary thing
And get back home again

When he came to the city
Might have been a bit naive
But how this ends well it all depends
On what you believe
She could say she is happy
He might even agree
They would say that it wouldn't work anyway
So just let it be

So I could tell you a story
Or we could just pretend
But I will sing this temporary thing
And get back home again

He has everything and yet
It's killing him with no regret
From the very day they met
He's never been the same

Try to stop before it starts
Living with their damaged hearts
Miles away and lives apart
They can't escape the sting
Of this temporary thing
