Can someone explain to me why Everyone's in such a hurry to say goodbye? A rush into the finish line With no time to spare I'm not a loner, I'm a miracle So go, save yourself I'm not alone because you're never there Well, I chose to, I chose to take the stairs We are all nothing but cheap wine In the rush to become so fine Ferment, grow old, live fast and die With not a moment to spare I'm not a loner, I'm a miracle So go, save yourself I'm not alone because you're never there Well, I chose to, I chose to take the stairs Time is of the essence One step at a time Don't fall from the ledge, my friend Following the blind Time is an illusion Fifth dimension's glare Nothing in this life is free But the complimentary stares I'll accompany my own way For me, not you, not we Judge me now, jury I just can't fake anymore I've got no time to spare It's like you're losing control That's why I'll just take the stares Stares (Time is of the essence) Stares (Time is of the essence) Stares (Time is of the essence) Stares (Time is of the essence) Stares (Time is of the essence)
