I was handed a second chance From the gods of true romance If i screwed up i would have to pay With my soul each and everyday Time was once on my side Time was once on my side Days went by in a wurl of confusion inside Zeus spoke to oden about my case He said this man needs to reject the human race He seems to thinks that he is above the law There in lies his fable floor Time was once on my side Time was once on my side Days went by in a wurl of confusion inside I was told not to open the box but, They left me alone with out changing the locks (What could he do) I just needed to know Now i wish i nwas on a boat going real slow Time was once on my side Time was once on my side Days went by in a wurl of confusion inside You'll have to pay ferry men one day And when you do you'll find you're self in summerd lands And you'll be walking in elysium

Shackled and raised for a shining crowd They want you to speak but the music is louder than All of their roar with the heat of the planet's core But the shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Promises made with a distant friend Truth should be known it can only bend To a tune of its own Hey you'll never hear that voice again Scandal in white on a tangled vine With everybody to say that you're having the Time of your life when your life is on the slide But the shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night The shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Spinning a compass to choose your way You can run, you can dive, you can stand, and you can soar Whichever way you can be sure That the shadows are on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night Shadows on your side As soon as the lights go down In the darkest place you can find You belong to the hands of the night The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side The shadows are on your side

Remember when we met The way you made me laugh How could I forget I found my better half But lately I've been feeling strong And you've been falling behind Oh tell me what went wrong 'Cus I can't read your mind I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side Remember how we kissed The first time in the dark Your lips were on my lips Your heart was on my heart But last night when you went to sleep You turned your face to the wall If you put your faith in me I'll catch you when you fall I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side Lately I've been feeling strong And you've been falling behind Oh tell me what went wrong 'Cus I can't read your mind I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side I'll hold on to you No matter what it is You're going through babe I love you babe I love you babe I love you babe I'm on your side Are you too blind to see I'm on your side You know I'm not the enemy Don't push me away There's nothing to hide I won't betray you baby I love you babe I'm on your side

Don't tell me what to do my friend You'll break more hearts than you can mend I know myself like no one else, nothing to defend My life is full of good advice, and you don't have to tell me twice Living here in paradise, no rules that I should bend In my years my life has changed, I can't turn back the time I can't tell you just what made me change All I know is who I am, I'll never let you down The last one you can trust 'til the end There ain't no rules to follow, you can't predict tomorrow I know just who my friends are, the rest can turn to stone Your memories are yours alone They're yours 'til your dust and bones I know the things I'm looking for, I know just what I want In my life the times have changed, I'm still the man I was I don't want to hear your fairytale All I know is who I am, I'll never let you down The last one you can trust 'til the end, 'til the end Go In your life, you'll be amazed at all the love you lose You can never live that life again The one thing you will never lose is the singing in your head That will still be with you 'til the end
