Stranded alone ending perfect days with a perfect storm Floating away I hope that the current drags me home Nothing in sight, but the lights on the coastline miles away I stare at the starts And wonder if I'd be the same out there How can I just keep from failing? The more I try, the more defeat I rolled the dice while I was growing up And I couldn't be beat Us against the world We know that tale When we try so hard And always fail It's an endless chore We find our ways to move on We've got the road ahead of us And we've got this need to breathe I'm sorry to say that full time work comes to part time pay We're expecting to give Our current life for our future days Whisper a dying breath thinking back to a distant past Follow a dream 'Cause once they're gone, you won't get them back Time: the only thing that matters A moment gone cannot repeat I remain so isolated Inside the walls protecting me Us against the world We know that tale When we try so hard And always fail It's an endless chore We find our ways to move on We've got the road ahead of us And we've got this need to breathe I wonder if I went back in time I'd try to change the past And not work so fast I don't know what the future holds But I hope for the best I could use some rest Us against the world We know that tale When we try so hard And always fail It's an endless chore We find our ways to move on We've got the road ahead of us And we've got this need to breathe
