Maria Shockey - Timing

The night I met you we decided we should leave the party and sat on the street 'til 1am
After a week or two, somebody said you moved back to Chicago the same week
And I downplayed it, let it fade
Like ink runs off of a one page story
I got jaded, maybe I hate when
Things start to feel too good for me 

Feelings and seasons change
Somebody else's name
Left me home alone, broken up
Mad at love
Thought you'd forgotten me
But now we're talking dreams Like old friends catching up over coffee cups 
Then we shared secrets
I asked Jesus why He brought you around right now
Said I'm not ready
It's too healthy
Baby, I don't wanna let you down

I'll fight it out with timing
Could you and I catch lightning?
Love is patient, I'm just not
But I'd die trying
To fight it out with timing

We've still got dreams to chase
And our demons to face
So we tell ourselves we're better off being friends 
We'll hang on holidays
I'll help you decorate
And you'll ask how my father's been
We can plan our future, buy furniture
But don't you dare say you love me yet
I'm not ready
It's too heavy
Just how real is this gonna get?

I'll fight it out with timing
Could you and I catch lightning?
Love is patient, I'm just not
But I'd die trying
To fight it out with timing

Timing

With us it's always goodbye
Running away, catching flights
Three years of trying to hide
My stupid feelings
Wondering why we don't try
Why friends don't spend the night
Too scared that crossing a line
Might lead to leaving 
And it's probably why we fought at Natchez Trace
And I know I should've told you New Year's Day
But how do I explain I'd rather wait on seasons
Than face the reasons I

Keep blaming it on timing
Caught somewhere between hope and lying
Love is brave, and I'm just not
But I'm trying
To fight it out with timing
To fight it out with timing
To fight it out with
Timing
