[Lyric] Sketches of Summer (Work Drugs)

[Verse 1]
I hold onto this pride
Count the days, hoping to rewind
Gave you the best that I had
Fool's gold, how'd it get so bad?
So long to forever
I wish you didn't have to never say never
If that's the way they say love goes
Hide all the scars and let me go

[Chorus]
Only time will take for granted
Seeking redemption, I'll set off a panic
Black and blue new romantic
There's no easy way to ever let go

[Verse 2]
Slipping right through my hands
Better run than to misunderstand
Relapse, I wish I would
The palisadеs took all they could
I kill the feeling deep inside
With onе more day and one more sleepless night
So, take a little piece of this heart
Fade away right back to the start
[Chorus]
Only time will take for granted
Seeking redemption, I'll set off a panic
Black and blue new romantic
There's no easy way

[Bridge]
Take it to the limit
Words get in the way
Sketches of summer
And the pleasure and pain
No more second chances
Picking up the change
Working every angle
But never ever taking the blame
Ever taking the blame
Ever taking the blame
Ever taking the blame
(There's no easy way to ever let go)

[Outro]
Only time will take for granted (to ever let go)
Seeking redemption, I'll set off a panic (to ever let go)
Black and blue new romantic (to ever let go)
There's no easy way to ever let go
