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
