[Verse 1:]

Like a gunshot from miles away

She's moving in

Like a rainstorm with out the clouds

She falls on you

Like a phone call to worn the truth

It never rings

[Chorus:]

It's the truth before the lies

It's the way she doesn't try

It's the wink before the sly

In Philadelphia

In Philadelphia

[Verse 2:]

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

[Chorus:]

It's the truth before the lies

It's the way she doesn't try

It's the wink before the sly

In Philadelphia

In Philadelphia

[Bridge:]

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 felt that love was always watching

Oh we learned that love was supposed to wait

But sometimes it's the feelings

That are standing in the air

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

[Chorus:]

It's the truth before the lies

It's the way she doesn't try

It's the wink before the sly

In Philadelphia

In Philadelphia

In Philadelphia

oooooooohooooo
