Please measure out a sunrise
Serve it to me neat
A shot of morning reprise
Boy does it taste sweet
The hour is misleading
The clocks are out of sync
Having trouble breathing
Can't find the missing link
The hour glass is fleeting
My mind is on the brink
Can't fake the rhythm
Can't force the rhyme
No you can't hold onto time
Roll up another reason
Smoke away the pain
Don't hide behind your feelings
Don't waste another day
If lost for inspiration
Then find another way
An open invitation
To find the words to say
Can't fake the rhythm
Can't force the rhyme
Slips through your fingers
No you can't hold onto time
Can't fake the rhythm
Can't force the rhyme
Slips through your fingers
No you can't hold onto time
