[Verse 1] If you're cold and you're alone And you don't know where to go You can call me anytime Nothing's changed, I am still here If you're running out of breath And your building's burning down You can jump, I will catch you Nothing's changed, I am still here [Verse 2] With heavy hands and an absent mind Did I blow your candle out? With shortened words and a lack of time Am I ever on your mind? Was I cruel and never there? Nothing to rely on Was our romance a black hole? You kept the better half than me [Chorus] Well, if you really wanted to know Well, no, the earth's not moved for me since I wish I could've given you lightness The lightness that you deserve And they say time is a healer And time will look after you I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait Come over [Bridge] Come over, come over, come over Why don't you come over? Why don't you come over? Why don't you come over? Why don't you come over? [Chorus] Well, if you really wanted to know Well, no, the earth's not moved for me since I wish I could've given you lightness The lightness that you deserve And they say time is a healer And time will look after you Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go Come over [Outro] And I stole you that ring 'cause I wanted you to have it And it wasn't about me, I just wanted you to have it Your smile, baby, your smile Baby, I come alive And I stole you that ring 'cause I wanted you to have it And it wasn't about me, I just wanted you to have it Your smile, baby, your smile Baby, I come alive I feel so naked like before we met Last night I was so close to just calling you up They say it takes time to heal the wounds I can't wait, I can't wait, come over
