You Can't Play With Time
We can squander precious time
That we don't believe will pass
And wonder if we'll ever see
Some other side with greener grass
As we both look high and low
For a place where we can go
And keep running from the truth
Look in my eyes and you will know
So let's just keep running
Until there is no place to run
And be awake as we're sleeping
And take a look at what we've done
There is no perfection
In a world of circumstance
And how we get through this life
Is all in how we take a chance
Imagine if you can
To never hear my voice again
Imagine a sky that never saw
Another summer rain
I imagine a time in my mind
I would never touch your face
And feel an emptiness inside
In a dark and hollow place
Let's just keep running
Until there is no place to run
And be awake as we're sleeping
To take a look at what we've done
There is no perfection
In a world of circumstance
And how we survive this life
Is all in how we take a chance
A heart is meant to be broken
If you don't let it love at first
Words are meant to be spoken
Things could be so much worse
Throw caution to the wind
And embrace the chance you take
You can't win if you don't try
And there is too much at stake
You can't play with time
Because there is too much to lose
Look ahead not behind
And it all begins with you
You can't play with time
Because there is too much too lose
Look ahead not behind
And it all begins with you
You can't play with time
Because there is so much to lose
Look ahead not behind
And it all begins with you
That we don't believe will pass
And wonder if we'll ever see
Some other side with greener grass
As we both look high and low
For a place where we can go
And keep running from the truth
Look in my eyes and you will know
So let's just keep running
Until there is no place to run
And be awake as we're sleeping
And take a look at what we've done
There is no perfection
In a world of circumstance
And how we get through this life
Is all in how we take a chance
Imagine if you can
To never hear my voice again
Imagine a sky that never saw
Another summer rain
I imagine a time in my mind
I would never touch your face
And feel an emptiness inside
In a dark and hollow place
Let's just keep running
Until there is no place to run
And be awake as we're sleeping
To take a look at what we've done
There is no perfection
In a world of circumstance
And how we survive this life
Is all in how we take a chance
A heart is meant to be broken
If you don't let it love at first
Words are meant to be spoken
Things could be so much worse
Throw caution to the wind
And embrace the chance you take
You can't win if you don't try
And there is too much at stake
You can't play with time
Because there is too much to lose
Look ahead not behind
And it all begins with you
You can't play with time
Because there is too much too lose
Look ahead not behind
And it all begins with you
You can't play with time
Because there is so much to lose
Look ahead not behind
And it all begins with you
