lyrics

[Verse 1]

I met her in a party scene
It could have been a Monday, or even a dream
Pretty like a magazine
She swept me off my feet -- it was meant to be
Just one of those things: young and invincible
Eleven-oh-eleven came
We tied a little knot and ran away

[Chorus]

Like characters in a Pinter play
A stitch in time keeps tearing the page
When we learn from where we've been
That stitch is just a shooting pain

[Verse 3]

We had a hundred bills to pay
So she got a job a million miles away
She'd visit but she wouldn't stay
It broke my little heart when I heard her say that:
"We're just a fling. We mean nothing at all."
But it was everything to me
It was everything to me

[Chorus]

Like characters in a Pinter play
A stitch in time keeps tearing the page
When we learn from where we've been
That stitch is just a shooting pain

[Bridge]

Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]

Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
