Chris Pureka - Momentary Thief lyrics

rate me

Well I never won you over

I just caught you on a good day

We were laughing in the back of an old city taxi

With no mention of my borrowed time

Just the glow of the whiskey and the holiday lights

Well there’s no need to name this

Because we’re just going to call it a day

So you can run out in the front yard

And just wave goodbye to the plane

But I remember the corner

The bar and the moment

That I came un-tethered and fell

Into that scene from my favorite movie

Yeah, you know the one

Well, I’ll tell you what

I’ll save you the trouble of running away

Yeah, I’ll tell you what

I’ll save you the trouble of running away yeah

I’m already gone out the door

And I stole this moment for me

This moment for me

Well you’re no kind of contrast

To all my somber ways

We may as well have a picnic darlin’

Out in the driving, pouring rain

But I’ll just carry on

Pretend that’s just how I’m inclined

So you better grab a hold of something

Steady, steady

‘Cause I’m cutting the line

But I remember your shoulder

Your breath and the moment

That I came un-tethered

And I danced

Into that dream

The one where you kiss me

And then the camera flashed

Well, I’ll tell you what

I’ll save you the trouble of running away

Yeah, I’ll tell you what

I’ll save you the trouble of running away, yeah

I’m already gone out the door

And I stole this moment for me

This moment for me

Indelible and bright
