Big hand on the clock counts away our final moments
A sunset on the dock. Tell yourself the sun may come again
But don't pretend, even wings of angels grow tired by the end
Oh, don't you know?
Hey, hey you better not wait
You better not wait til' it's far too late
Say, say the things that you'd say
It's not like the world is listening anyway
Hey, hey remember your pain
Put it behind you it won't define you
In our waning, days don't you let life get in the way
Time can be a friend; warning you to keep eyes open
Watching for the end, living every day as it's your
Last; it fades too fast
For what if love and happiness may someday be lost in the past? In the past
Hey, hey you better not wait
You better not wait til' it's far too late
Say, say the things that you'd say
It's not like the world is listening anyway
Hey, hey remember your pain
Put it behind you it won't define you
In our waning, days don't you let life get in the way
Lifeless hands around my neck hold me down as I lie in bed awake
Haunted by the days I waste and wondering how much more that I can take
You may think you feel the same: pointing fingers, casting blame
On those who wish to live again
Hey, hey you better not wait
You better not wait til' it's far too late
Say, say the things that you'd say
It's not like the world is listening anyway
Hey, hey remember your pain
Put it behind you it won't define you
In our waning, days don't you let life get in the way
That's the price that you pay
For living like you're someone else
The mask you wear can still make you feel safe
And God knows you could be right
