Verse 1

I made a rule about you, I made a plan

For getting my feet back on the ground.

Bury my face in clouds for hours on end,

But time only flies when you're around.

Bridge 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 just 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.

Bridge 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 just 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...

Chorus

violin solo):

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...
