The time has come for you to make up your own mind Stop looking for the answers that you'll never find Save all your tears for when you really need to cry Don't wish your life away to spread your wings and fly Time waits for no-one yeah It's never what it seems Stop waiting for tomorrow Stop living in your dreams This life fading away This life ticking like a time bomb ready to blow your tortured mind I know it's wasting away we don't plan for when it goes wrong. The time that we lose we will never find time. Can't hide the clock when every line shows on your face So take it slow you'll never win the human race Time waits for no-one yeah Everything must change Stop running to the future Start living for today This life fading away This life ticking like a time bomb ready to blow your tortured mind I know it's wasting away we don't plan for when it goes wrong. The time that we lose we will never find time. Just live every moment for these days Cause death is the price we all must pay This life fading away This life ticking like a time bomb ready to blow your tortured mind I know it's wasting away we don't plan for when it goes wrong The time that we lose we will never find time. This life fading away This life ticking like a time bomb ready to blow your tortured mind I know it's wasting away we don't plan for when it goes wrong The time that we lose we will never find time.

Have you read the message? The writing on the wall Could it be the answer The answer to it all What's going down in Heaven I'm playing with your head Don't believe it when they tell you "You'd be better off dead" Living in the thunder Driving me insane Can I get a witness To take away the pain? Walking on the water Going nowhere fast Feeling like I'm walking with no shoes on broken glass You know it You don't have to leave the lights on I'm so used to being blind No more goodbyes or yesterdays So it's, I'll see you tomorrow I'll see you tomorrow Welcome to the sideshow I'll cut it to the chase Yeah, I can hear you thinking It's going all to waste I don't mean to offend you When I look you in the eyes What's all this commotion? It leaves me mystified Chasing all the rainbows Falling from the sky I know your intentions Are all a bunch of lies I'm running out of patience Falling off track You better start to worry, 'cause I may not make it back All right now You don't have to leave the lights on I'm so used to being blind One good reason to blow me away So it's, I'll see you tomorrow I'll see you tomorrow (Can wait till tomorrow?) ('Cause tomorrow never comes...) I never killed anybody It was the gun! Hahahahaha! Living in the big house Dying by the rail If I wanted your opinion I'd call you up in Hell Could that be the mailman Knockin' at the door Or just another lightweight finally evening the score You know it You don't have to leave the lights on I'm so used to being blind No more goodbyes or yesterdays So it's, I'll see you tomorrow No more reasons to blow you away So it's, I'll see you tomorrow
