Like a gunshot from miles away She's moving in Like a rainstorm without the clouds She falls on him Like a phone call to worn the truth It never rings It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the slight In Philadelphia In Philadelphia They met after work one day She laughed with him They drove off their separate ways Then met for drinks When he got home the silent guilt was deafening It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the slight In Philadelphia In Philadelphia She thought that love was gonna fight She thought that love was gonna take her home She thought that love was gonna save her But love just never showed She thought that love was always watching Oh we learned that love was supposed to win But sometimes it's the demons That are standing in the end He slips off his worn out suit and tries to rest She's a million miles away across the bed She rolls over, puts her hand across his chest It's the truth before the lies It's the way she doesn't try It's the wink before the slight In Philadelphia In Philadelphia In Philadelphia Oooooooohooooo Oooooooohooooo
