Song Lyrics

Oh, when you're leaving for the hundredth time of day.

Looking for a reason, a reason lived to stay.

What about the promises, the promises you can't keep?

Sometimes when you're wounded, there ain't enough reason to bleed.

Oh don't hurry your heart,

No, don't hurry your heart.

Please don't hurry your heart,

This time.


Now you're really going like a hundred times before.

Is there any reason not to step through that door?

Forget about the promises, the promises you can't keep.

When you look behind you there's nothing there to see,


Oh don't hurry your heart,

No, don't hurry your heart.

Please don't hurry your heart,

This time.


Flashing lights and exit signs, fall away into the night.

Like everything you couldn't take with you,

There's nothing left to break.


Instrumental break.


Everybody's talking,

When you want to say your piece.

Everybody's leavin',

Right when you were feeling at ease.

Sometimes when he's rushing,

He's telling you to hurry up.


Oh don't hurry your heart,

No, don't hurry your heart.

Please don't hurry your heart,

This time.


La da da da da da...... etc.


Yeah, yeah.


La da da da da da...... etc.
