These days are numbered
but we let them slide
waiting for the worst to end
watching the hours of the 9 to 5
just waiting for the weekend
It's like clockwork
dream and never stop to let us look at the world
around us.
Seems we all must
settle for the almosts
and spend our time
reaching for
the dreams we left behind
wake up, wake up, now
there's time move on through
you're pushing yourself back
waiting as the days pass
Get up, get up now
no ties to hold you down
there's plenty of time now
to turn this yourself around
Do you remember when
the kids we were
were fearless to take on the world
Trading places we'd pretend
writing futures for our friends
just wishing we were older
Hearts grow weary
and our minds are worn
newspapers teach us to
despise the world
we make shelters of our homes
feeling safer when alone
this can't go on forever
believe me this won't last forever
dying's when our dreams are settled
cutting through this time
please take my hand, your hand,
we'll fly and we can live to justify the time we have
