[Verse 1:]
I made a rule about you
I made a plan for getting my feet back on the ground
Bury my face in the clouds for hours on end
But time only flies when you're around
[Hook 1:]
It was cold and dark the last time I saw you
Your hair was long and falling in your eyes
You said my hands were warm and that I was special to you
[Chorus]
Valentine
You know that I'm fighting this love in vain
The sun's been shining for a week
But it still feels like rain
Valentine
I know you're not mine
You're somebody else's flame
But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darlin', look my way (yeah...)
[Verse 2:]
You say that it's complicated
But baby you're wrong
There's nothing more obvious to me
That we're on a trip together
33,000 light years long
And I'm hurting so bad 'cause you don't see
[Hook 2:]
The night you walked me home, I gave you a picture of Eden's trees falling to the ground
And now I feel, I feel like you're a perfect stranger
Without you
[Chorus]
Valentine
You know that I'm fighting this love in vain
The sun's been shining for a week
But it still feels like rain
Valentine
I know you're not mine
And I don't know why you stay
But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darlin', look my way (yeah...)
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Valentine
I know you're not mine
And I don't know why you stay
But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darlin', look my way (yeah....)
And I don't know why you stay
But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darlin', look my way (yeah...)
I made a rule about you
I made a plan for getting my feet back on the ground
Bury my face in the clouds for hours on end
But time only flies when you're around
[Hook 1:]
It was cold and dark the last time I saw you
Your hair was long and falling in your eyes
You said my hands were warm and that I was special to you
[Chorus]
Valentine
You know that I'm fighting this love in vain
The sun's been shining for a week
But it still feels like rain
Valentine
I know you're not mine

But when those hearts and flowers fade
Oh my darlin', look my way (yeah...)

Oh my darlin', look my way (yeah...)
