Lyrics Fear and Time - Melissa Ferrick, Ferrick, Melissa

Fear and Time

Well you don’t know
What it is you’re doing
And you don’t know
What it is you’re losing (?)
So you just lay around
With ½ your heart on the ground
Cuz you don’t know
The meaning of the words you’re using
Yeah that’s it
Wrap yourself up in yourself
Yeah that’s it
Dive yourself into yourself
And what are you going to find?
Besides fear and time
And he’s been trying
Yeah to give you room
And he’s been trying
To listen to you
But all he hears from you is cruel
And for 7 years
He gave it all up for you
7 years and now you don’t
Know what YOU want anymore
Yeah that’s it
Wrap yourself up in yourself
Yeah that’s it darlin dive yourself into yourself
And what are you going to find?
Yeah besides fear and time
So you’re going to softly leave
As he quietly entered
And use punch words
Onto your breath like forever
And he is gone
His heart’s a burned up clover
And he is disabled
Just like the boat that brought him over
So yeah that’s it
Just pretend that he doesn’t exist
And what are you going to find?
Fear and time
