I’ve been trying to find out,
Just trying to learn,
But the thought is too painful
And goddamn it hurts.
It’s like I’ve spent my whole life
Feeling so comfortably numb,
Now I can’t accept the terms,
And so I’ll come undone.
With the end of the road,
Shining in the lights,
Comes a realisation,
That I could never fight,
I need you forever,
Never wanted to see,
But these past few years,
It’s just dawned on me.
Time always
Catches up,
I can’t speak,
It hurts too much,
Yeah you raised me,
Still you pick me up,
And without you,
Where would I be?
I’ve been tearing up pages,
And I’ve been throwing up words,
I’ve tried selling my soul
But it just made things worse
And I’ve tried praying to God,
And Though I never believed,
I’ve been hoping for time,
To treat us both kindly.
I’ve been gazing at stars,
With this one simple wish,
That when the lights go out,
I can flick back the switch.
Make the clocks keep ticking
When it’s time to go,
So you can take a rain check,
Maybe stay at home.
Time always
Catches up,
I can’t breathe,
It hurts too much,
Yeah you raised me,
Still you pick me up,
Without you here,
I’d have given up.
So I’ll keep this photograph,
Yeah it gathers dust,
And this time we have,
I’m sad to say
But it could never be enough.
Time always
Catches up,
This bad dream,
But I can’t wake up,
Yeah you raised me,
Still I need you here,
And when you’re gone,
I’ll be so lost.
Time always
Catches up,
And I hate this,
‘Cause it hurts too much,
Yeah you raised me,
Still you pick me up,
And when you’re gone,
Will I be enough?
