lyrics

Well, the whispers don’t stop haunting you
And now they’re telling me that I’m thirty-two
Well a decade isn’t so long, but life’s still short
Cause I don’t know how many more of these I’ve got

And now the fires burn their channels
All the things I used to think I wanted
But what I want is you, and you, and me
And when the three combine, to be at peace, to be at peace

I would stop time, I would bend it to my will
Not to go back, but to get ahead of it
Cause I’m too slow, and I hate being late

Will this lonely, sad old colony
Be forgotten, and washed into the sea?
Or will it open doors to the new, to the real?
To better than we could be on our own

I would stop time, I would bend it to my will
Not to go back, but to get ahead of it
Cause I’m too slow, and I hate being late

So I sing loud though the wind eats my words
And if you reach back your hand…. We might just make it

Da da da da da da da da da da….
