Time is always 

Coming up

On the short side 

Never mind 

Just in time 

How do you ever 

Find the time 

I've often heard 

Its not always kind 

There's never enough 

Do do all the things 

I want to do 

Everytime I get started 

I run out of time

Living on what's borrowed 

Not even mine 

You wake up one day 

You're ten years behind 

Reflecting back 

I guess I was lucky

Time was ever kind 

Nobody ever had  my back 

It was only me

Time was rarely

Ever free

A fracture

A warp in time 

The missing pieces 

All in a line 

Everything in time 

Time dragged on

The future unclear 

Like the weather 

Life can be unsure 

.

EACH DAY

 

EACH DAY

BEYOND THE DAY

WELL INTO NIGHT 

WITH ALL YOUR TRUST

TO THE PATH YOU'RE ON

YOU MIGHT SEE

HEAVEN KNOWS

YOU MAY GROW

TO UNDERSTAND 

WHERE YOU FIT

INTO THE CENTRAL PLAN 

INSIDE THE STARS

SOME WERE MINE

SOME WERE YOURS

IN A WORLD

UNTO ITSELF

WHY WE'D EVER

LIVE IN DOUBT 

OWN, EACH DAY

NEVER LET

THE SMALL STUFF

GET IN THE WAY

ITS ALL SMALL STUFF

BY THE WAY

FAILING ISN'T FALLING

ITS A DIFFERENT THING

OH TO HEAR 

THE ANGELS SING

START IT ALL AGAIN

 

KNOWING WHAT

 YOU KNOW NOW

THE TIME

YOU COULD OF SAVED

THE LOVE YOU WOULD

NEVER OF CONFUSED

FOR SOMETHING

 THAT WAS  REAL

ALL OF THE TIME

YOU WASTED

TASTED BITTERSWEET

LITTLE ELSE

FOR YOU TO EAT

ONE STEP AWAY

FROM THE STREET

 

 

NOTHING TO HANG

 

NOTHING TO HANG

THE MOON MELTED

INTO THE NIGHT

DISAPPEARED

OUT OF SIGHT

BETWEEN THE STARS

BESIDE THE LIGHT

SOMETHING ELSE

TO THINK ABOUT

NOTHING TO HANG

ANY OF MY

HOPES ON

EMPTY

AS THE NIGHT IS LONG

 

I FALL ASLEEP 

WAITING FOR THE SUN

THE LAST THING I REMEMBER

I WAS ABOUT TO FALL

THEN I FOUND MY WINGS

TO TASTE THE SKY

SUN IN MY EYES

WAKES ME

FINDS ME THERE

GIVE ME

A COFFEE AND A CHAIR

OH TO AWAKEN

FIND YOU THERE

 

MUCH TO MY SURPRISE

A LOOK I'VE 

NEVER SEEN BEFORE 

RIGHT THERE

IN YOUR EYES

NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE

YOUR HEART AN OPEN BOOK

I'D HAVE TO LOOK

MYSELF TO SEE

WHAT IT ALL WOULD MEAN

IN THIS CENTURY

LOOK AT YOU

LOOK AT ME

GO ON

BUT FOR HOW LONG

NOTHING TO HANG

ANY OF MY

HOPES ON

EMPTY AS 

THE NIGHT IS LONG 

AS I SEE

AS I SEE

SO MY EYES

 ARE FIXED ON THE FLAMES 

ALL ALONE

AS THIS NIGHT

WOULD FIND ME

THE STARS WERE MINE

TO TAKE IN

AS I SEE

WHY IS THIS

ITS NOT ME

HOW IT IS

HOW IT COULD BE

 

WORLDS APART

A MYSTERY

KEEP LOVE

A LITTLE CLOSER 

HOLD YOU JUST RIGHT

TRY TO MAKE EACH NIGHT

ONE TO REMEMBER

OR AT THE VERY LEAST

ONE THAT COUNTS

 

SOMETHING THAT ONLY LEADS ME

LEAVES ME CURIOUS

TO FIND WHERE IT IS

YOUR HEART LEADS ME TO

I  CAN SEE

THERE'S LITTLE ELSE 

I CAN DO

SETTLE IN

FOR THE WAIT

ENJOY THE SHOW

LIKE ITS MY FIRST

AND MY LAST

 

FORTUNE NOT FOUND

IS ALL LOST

NO ONE CAN SAY

ONLY TIME WILL SEE

WHAT'S IN THE CARDS

FOR YOU AND I

TO FIND WHERE IT IS

YOUR HEART LEADS ME TO

I DON'T WANT TO

LOSE THIS FEELING

WHILE I'M STILL

IN CONTROL

I DON'T WANT TO

LOSE YOU GIRL

YOU'RE THE OTHER HALF

OF MY SOUL

WHEN IT COMES

RIGHT DOWN TO IT

I'VE ALREADY

LET YOU IN

 

AND WHEN YOU 

COME THIS CLOSE

I'LL WISH YOU

NEVER GO

I'M NOT SURE

WHEN YOU

 TOOK MY HEART 

DON'T KNOW WHEN

YOU TURNED MY HEAD

I'M JUST GLAD YOU

DIDN'T STOP

KEPT RIGHT

 ON INSTEAD

YOU GAVE YOURSELF

TO ME

MADE MY WORLD

BEAUTIFUL, INSTANTLY

 

MORE THAN I 

CAN DO

OR SAY 

I WANT TO

TAKE YOUR HAND

NEVER LET IT GO

SAY YOU WILL

SAY YOU KNOW

     NOW

WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING

ALL ALONG

 

ALL THE SEASONS

WE LET SLIP AWAY

WE HAD NO SAY

JUST A WISH

TOUCH A DREAM

SO MUCH LOVE

IT WOULD SEEM

SUNNY SUMMERS DAY

NOTHING TO STOP US

GET IN OUR WAY

WHEN YOU 

COME THIS CLOSE 

I'LL WISH

YOU NEVER GO

 

POISON

I USED TO THINK I KNEW

THE WAY IT ALWAYS WAS

THE WAY, IT HAD TO GO

JUST BECAUSE

NOW I'M NOT SO SURE

IF I'M

 COMING OR GOING 

EVERYTHING IS

SO MUCH POISON

ADDED TO THE MIX

SOMEONE CHANGED THE REASON

SAID IT CAN'T BE FIXED

WHEN ALL THE FEELINGS

 HAVE GONE

EMPTINESS AIN'T FAR BEHIND

IT CAN'T BE LONG

NO AMOUNT OF REASON

TO BE HAD

LIKE COMMON SENSE

WAS NON EXISTENT

JUST A FAD

 

SEEMS LIKE

IT WASN'T SO LONG AGO

EVERYONE SEEMED SO KIND

LOVE WAS ALWAYS PRESENT 

EASIER TO FIND

LOVE WAS

ALL WE HAD

DREAMS WERE

NEVER BAD

TIME

WE HAD SO MUCH

TO LOSE IT

THEY START A WAR

WHERE NO ONE

 WINS

THE POISON BEGINS

THE DIVISIONS COMPLETE

 

HEY NOW

I CAN'T STAY

I'VE GOT TO GO

EVERYTHING IS

 SO MUCH POISON 

THE FIGHTS BACK ON

KARMA

IS ON OUR SIDE

HOLD ON

IT'LL BE A WILD RIDE

SO MUCH POISON

 

 

GLOW

 

GLOW

SEEMS IT ALWAYS

STARTS THE SAME

PLEASED TO MEET YOU

WHAT'S YOUR NAME

IS IT SOMETHING

I SHOULD KNOW

IS IT WHISPERED

ON GENTLE

 SUMMER BREEZES 

ON THE TIP

OF EVERY LEAF

BRING THE SUN

JUST ENOUGH 

TO SEE YOU GLOW

BRING ME

SOME KIND OF RELIEF

 LET ME KNOW 

 

MY ATTENTION CAPTURED

MY HEART AWAITS ITS FATE

IF ITS NOT TOO LATE

SUMMER NEVER STOPS

IT JUST MOVES AWAY

DISAPPEARS INTO TIME

FASTER THAN I CAN SAY

THIS DARK WILL

TURN TO LIGHT

THIS DAY, THIS HOUR

YOU MIGHT

FIND ME

STARING DOWN 

THE TREES 

IN THE SUMMER SUN

WAITING ON YOU

DO YOU KNOW I'M HAPPY

WHEN YOU GLOW

NEAR ME

 

 YOU KNOW I CARE ABOUT YOU 

HOW YOU FEEL

TOUCH YOU

TO SEE IF YOU'RE REAL

AND MAYBE

WE CAN GO FROM THERE

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

MY INTENTIONS 

ARE MADE CLEAR

BRING THE SUN

JUST ENOUGH

TO SEE YOU GLOW

GOODBYE MY LOVE

IF YOU HAVE TO GO
