Just in Time (to Watch Love Die) Lyrics

There′s a stack of daily papers by her doorstep
And the grass has grown up more than she'd allow
Yes, it looks to me to be a little more than a vacation
Never knew that I could miss her until now

From both ends, the candles seem to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I′m the one that got caught in the middle
Mark my finger, I got there just in time to watch love die
Yes, I got there just in time to watch love die

There's a change of address blank inside her mailbox
And the key she usually left for me is not in here
Yes, it's plain to see that she no longer needs an explanation
I guess I should′ve known I would not find her here

From both ends, the candles seem to burn much brighter
I guess she saw the flame I tried so hard to hide
Looks like I′m the one that got caught in the middle
Mark my finger, I got there just in time to watch love die
But I got there much too late to say goodbye
