To be the one.
All these people rushing ‘round
Just for fun.
Taking two steps down
At a time
To catch the train before
It arrives.
To be the one.
All these people rushing ‘round
My head now.
Won’t make sense how
I was just sinking down
To the bottom of my innocence…
Suddenly, I see
Out of the corner of my eye
“35: on time”
And I emerge on the street
Just in time, in time, in time
To see another sign
It’s for a sunny sky
When you call,
I feel a funny little feeling-
I don’t want to hear it at all :)
I could rewind into
Your parents’ living room
Oh, we should have done this
Some other time…
What a lie
To be the one
I’m taking three steps at a time
Just to catch my train on: Time
Otherwise, it’s just me
And my little feet
On the concrete
Stamping out in time
And I thought I could just call to say
You do not have to make your bed today-
You will not make it anyway!
There is no point in me calling to say
“it’s time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time”
It’s time to go
Tell your younger self you will be well
Just wait a couple years until you get
Yourself a wetsuit,
buy yourself a board on craigslist,
Get into the water.
Find that you are shitty at this.
Put a little effort in,
Do a little work on yourself.
Get a little stronger,
Get into the water
And you’ll feel the waves beneath you
Feel the ocean moving, feel the
Moon is shining above you
See what she is doing to you
Get into the water
Feel a little stronger when you
Pull yourself together.
Feeling like a number one, you’re
Stronger than you ever thought,
Ever thought you could be
When you were just a little,
A little trauma baby.
You were hanging on by a thread
Now you’re pulling threads behind you
While you stand up on your board, and then you
Feel your feet below you, and the wave
it starts to laugh at you,
You’ll start to laugh a little, too.
You’ll feel your brain is quiet
for the first time in forever.
You’re facing death with every left
Facing death with every left
You’re facing death with every left
Facing death with every left
You’re Facing death with every left
Facing death with every left
Paddle a little longer
You wanna be there forever.
You’ll feel the waves beneath you
Feel like you’re connected to her.
She says “Are you okay?”
The best I’ve ever felt now
Go a little longer-
The sun is still alight enough
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time (all the time)
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time
There’s time, there’s time - There’s time.
