| Maybe its alright things are changing all around me
|
| Even the night time doesn’t seem to last as long
|
| And the simplest things they’re all sent here to confound me
|
| I open my eyes and another day has gone
|
| Even my friends they’re all starting to lose their patience
|
| Because they can’t pretend they haven’t noticed something’s wrong
|
| And I don’t wish to seem ungrateful or ungracious
|
| When you say that life’s too short while I’m thinking it’s too long
|
| It’s too long
|
| Sometimes I wish that my heart
|
| Would stop beating for a while
|
| Close my eyes make me smile
|
| It’s only a ticking in the darkness
|
| That keeps me from my dream
|
| To do what I do
|
| And be who I’ve been
|
| Maybe its alright that so many have been forgotten
|
| Even the light is only searching for somewhere that it can rest
|
| And each new thing that’s born will of coarse one day be rotten
|
| It’s got nothing to do with who is cursed or who is blessed
|
| Even my friends they’re all starting to lose their patience
|
| Because they can’t pretend they haven’t noticed something’s wrong
|
| And I don’t wish to seem ungrateful or ungracious
|
| When you say that life’s too short while I’m thinking it’s too long
|
| It’s too long
|
| Sometimes I wish that my heart
|
| Would stop beating for a while
|
| Close my eyes make me smile
|
| It’s only a ticking in the darkness
|
| That keeps me from my dream
|
| To do what I do
|
| And be who I’ve been
|
| And there’s a light shining far away
|
| And it gets a little brighter day by day
|
| By day
|
| Sometimes I wish that my heart
|
| Would stop beating for a while
|
| Close my eyes make me smile
|
| It’s only a ticking in the darkness
|
| That keeps me from my dream
|
| To do what I do
|
| And be who I’ve been
|
| I said to do what I do
|
| And be who I’ve been |
