Lyrics

I remember when the TV ran on time
One hour to save the patient, solve the crime
Thirty-minute sitcoms echoed down the block
Home teams won the game with seconds on the clock

Living by the TV guide was fine
But I wish my life ran on radio time

My life in a three-minute song
In no time flat I'd meet the girl and find that we belong
A simple hook, an honest verse, and a bridge that pulls me home
Just for a minute or three, I wish my life could be
A three-minute song

Neither one of us knows quite what to say
Sitting close enough to touch, but worlds away
We used to make up by the end of the show
Now we're stuck on a scene that won't let go

Living by the TV guide was fine
But I wish our life ran on radio time

Our life in a three-minute song
In no time flat we'd make it back to where we belong
A simple hook, an honest verse, and a bridge that pulls us home
Just for a minute or three, I wish our life could be
A three-minute song

A three-minute song can't change the ending or the past
Can't fix a broken promise or make the moment last
When our story's stuck on pause and we can't move on
We let that chorus pull us back like we're already home

Our life in a three-minute song
In no time flat we'd make it back to where we belong
A simple hook, an honest verse, and a bridge that pulls us home
Just for a minute or three, I wish our life could be
A three-minute song

Yeah, for a minute or three, I wish our life could be
As simple as a three-minute song
