We're a step ahead of the game We're a cloud ahead of the rain And it's a life we barely sustain And you don't know how to say it now I'm going east and you're going south I'm trying hard to straighten you out Your eyes are clouded, your mind's walking out And you don't know how to say it now Time is on your side Though you're looking like you're barely alive Cursed by how you envisioned your life And you don't know how to change it now How you stumble down endless declines How you writhe in the plight of mankind You read the good book, but you never could find Someone to save you now You take your turn with those you deceive Your soul's a child that you've yet to grieve You've got a girl that you caught on your sleeve Won't somebody save you now? Time is on your side Though you're looking like you're barely alive Cursed by how you envisioned your life And you don't know how to change it now I know you only see it your way I've seen you suffer through a sunny day Time is on your side Though you're looking like you're barely alive Cursed by how you envisioned your life But you don't know how to change it now
