Now the time has elapsed 
It inevitably has come to pass 
That I write for you at last 
A song, a rhyme 
Oh, to tell you the truth of it 
I’m a little confused myself 
Is it through memory’s rose-tinted glass 
I have come to ask 
Or is it a love that was meant to last 
Through time itself 


Proving us wrong all along 
Shouldn’t we be holding on 
It’s a silly thing really 
That you shouldn’t believe in 
Nothing too complicated 
Endlessly formulated 
Foolish romantic ideals of love 


Could there be such a thing 
How could there be such a thing 
As beautifully flawed 
We’ll make mistakes and then 
Life is the art of learning to live with it 
Through time 


But you knew it 
All along 
You who are wiser than I 
See it coming 
See it coming 
See it coming 
Every time 


How did you predict 
The end of the world 
When you can’t see beyond 
The end of your nose 
Would you look at the life I chose 
Baby it’s you I need to tell it to 
Maybe no other will ever do 
Through time 


Shouldn’t we be holding on 
Maybe no other will ever do 
Maybe no other will ever do 


Shouldn’t we be holding on 
Maybe no other will ever do 
Maybe no other will ever do 


Shouldn’t we be holding on 
Maybe no other will ever do 
Maybe no other will ever do 


Shouldn’t we be holding on 
Maybe no other will ever do 
Maybe no other will ever do 


Proving us wrong all along 


Ideals of love 
Foolish romantic 
Ideals of love 


Could there be such a thing 
How could there be such a thing 
As beautifully flawed 
Ideals of love
