lyrics

You say you want to be yourself but the time is never right
So you keep delaying, one more day and one more night
All the anniversaries tick over one by one
You dream of going back there, but every one has gone

If you’re looking for perfection
You can’t get there from here
But if you’ll try a new direction
You might get somewhere near

All the things you cling to and the things you can’t let go
All the things that you hold on to and the things you do for show
All the baggage that you carry and the things you can’t put down
Do you think they’ll help you when you’re six feet in the ground

One day you’ve got all the time in the world
The next you’ve got no time at all

Everyday you pass that you accept the second best
Is a day you can’t recover, one day less in all the rest
You can look into a mirror, look into your heart
Try to understand yourself, now that would be a start
