In and Out of Time

Do you feel the stars shining through these clouded skies?
D'you feel a fire burning but you don't know why?
Instead we waste away in an unknown place
On the edge of town where we could find our escape

The streets were cold and empty in the town that night
But we stayed outside drinking like it was mid July
We ran through the rain in a summer haze
We'd never feel this alive again

I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it
Well let's face it, I'm just keeping my head above the water
And I ought to give it up
I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it
No, lets face it, I'm barely hanging on

Now I feel my thoughts racing in and out of time
I'll take a shot of something just to clear my mind
Another time I'll say that this is my last
But I know I'm gonna stay until this feelings passed

So I ply myself with medication and pretend
It's a bitter realisation that this has to end
I see your reflective eyes staring back at mine
They show I'm not a better man but I tried

I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it
Well let's face it, I'm just keeping my head above the water
And I ought to give it up
I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it
No, lets face it, I'm barely hanging on

I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it
Well let's face it, I'm just keeping my head above the water
And I ought to give it up
I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it
No, lets face it, I'm barely hanging on
