I'm all for the words, just as long as there's why
I'm not here to waste on my precious time
Now I'm on the floor, almost a crime scene
I've got two cups and one's for my medicine

Such a sweet decline, such a sweet decline,
A song's a feeling waiting to be sung
Such a sweet decline, such a sweet decline,
I ain't ready for another week

It takes courage to leave a home
Do you trust the wires that hold you?
I need some color to spoil the mood
Can't you listen before you speak?

And a piano can't play itself
And if you tell me we can, I'll believe in you
Well close your eyes and just feel the breeze
Just take my hand and show me what love is

Such a sweet decline, such a sweet decline,
I memorized the sky
Such a sweet decline, such a sweet decline,
I'm accustomed to the rain

Such a sweet decline, such a sweet decline,
Let the children laugh
Such a sweet decline, such a sweet decline,
And my hair will fall gray
