Somewhere near the center of time People are standing still It took them years to get this far To climb the expanding hill And the closer they'd get, the slower they'd move Until they didn't move at all Frozen now in a state of grace Just in the nick of time Somewhere near the center of time In a murky swirling mass People are struggling to find their place To make the moment last And a statue appears out of the mist Of two lovers sharing a kiss As they will until the end the end of time But the time will never end And you can try to stop them And you can try to shun them And you can try to join them And become one of them Somewhere near the center of time Someone has changed her mind To take the turn is a terrible task Takes all the courage she can find To acknowledge the time Is to acknowledge your death That one day you'll breathe your last breath She chose to live her life in time Yeah, she chose it just in time And you can try to stop them And you can try to shun them And you can try to join them And become one of them
