Morning’s light, creeps above the scenery,
Greeting faces, abandoned homes.
What if I, had never signed the envelope,
Never coming, or leaving home.

Take my life, my feelings and my artistry,
And this ever love for you.
And I know, that Time works so imperfectly,
But I’ve meant my time with you.

And when the world comes tumbling down,
And when the years are thrown around my frozen feet,
I’ll remember this through everything that comes.

…

Living young, as if infinite as you think you are,
Until your brother crashed the car.
Little lights, dust, mud, and microwaves,
Unassuming, but here we are.

The stage is struck, the walls are bare and empty,
And the workers strip the floor.
Hurry now, the lights grow dim and weary,
A lonely curtain hits the floor.

And when the world comes tumbling down,
And when the years are thrown around my frozen feet,
I’ll remember this through everything that comes.

…

But I guess that I’m just scared.
Running through the years,
Living in a place that I don’t know
and the time it goes by like a mayfly.

But what if I can’t get this back.
Maybe I’m afraid,
Come and take a look at this mess I’ve made
and the time it goes by like a mayfly.

But maybe I just can’t see.
I can’t see what’s in this plan I understand that patience gives me one more reason not to go.
But in twenty, three, years
I’ve never found another ground I wanna lay my (C)head
And (G)lay my… And lay (D)my…

And when the world comes tumbling down,
And when the years are thrown around my frozen feet,
I’ll remember this through everything that comes.
