Lyrics

(verse 1)
Looking back, searching every corner
Of every plot twist leading to this empty room
All this time weighs on me and I just feel smaller
Having worn an inch or two off the soles of my shoes now

Keeping love safe seemed a useless occupation
I laughed at the fools running for shelter two by two

(chorus)
Now here I am foolishly trying
To buy back wasted time
But these 11th hour flowers won?t buy you?

(verse 2)
Saw you walking from a distance just the other day
I could almost hear you calling out my name
But the smile in my mind quickly faded away
When I saw an old friend?s face by your side

Keeping love safe requires time and patience
That I never really had for me and you

(chorus)
Now here I am foolishly trying
To buy back wasted time
But these 11th hour flowers won?t buy you?

(Bridge)
Roses for second chances
Look how many I?ve got
Guess they?re not the right currency today
Taken for granted
The feeling gets lost
The bloom just wilts and fades away

(verse)
And as the snow settles in on these last days
I?m reminded of that fork in the road
I?m back in our empty room holding a bouquet
Of a dozen stories that were never told

Keeping love safe requires time and patience
That I often wish I?d had for me and you

(chorus)
Now here I am foolishly trying
To buy back wasted time
But these 11th hour flowers won?t buy you?
