Verse 1: Like a gunshot from miles away She's moving in Like a rainstorm with out the clouds She falls on him Like a phone call to warn 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 slight 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 slight 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 oooooooohooooo
