Where did the Time Go?

I thought about you last night
You don't usually take up space in my mind
You're in between the thoughts in my head
I try to jump over like crossing a river at its bend
Hopping on rocks covered in moss
Last night I slipped and fell in
And lately I've been falling a lot
It's not always you. But I slip on the rocks
Too many thoughts that I don't want
In early winter the water's so cold
It freezes through my bones
Throw me a line
I can't swim alone
If I can't swim I'll die
Oh
Throw me a line
Oh
Don't stay a stranger in my life

I wish I could bring you back the me you used to know
God you used to know me
My songs are not enough to release the tension I feel
Release sets me free
I won't sleep anymore
I'm scared when I close my eyes, you'll be in my dreams
And the river at the bend turns into a sea

Can't explain how I feel
Don't even know if this is real
Do I make it up
Am I Just not strong enough
What is everyone else thinking
Can they tell that I feel like I'm sinking
Holes in my heart, leaking out my soul
I made myself strong so no one can know
A fortress with walls
I used up the stones covered in moss
I breathe in the cold
Where did the time go
Where did the time go
I'm sorry if you don't recognize the person I am
I made a new guy
I made him forget the times that were storms
I made him take ice and make it feel warm
I made him take sadness and block it out
Filled up his head with songs and new sounds
Where did the time go
Where did the time go

Oh I wish I could bring you back the me you used to know
God you used to know me
My songs are not enough to release the tension I feel
Release sets me free
I won't sleep anymore
I'm scared when I close my eyes, you'll be in my dreams
And the river at the bend turns into a sea

Sometimes I wonder where the time went
Can never tell if it was well spent
In early winter the water's so cold
So I shiver for shivering's sake
Go through the motions. I bend and I fold
But I never break
Oh throw me a line
Oh where did the time go

I wish I could bring you back the me you used to know
God you used to know me
My songs are not enough to release the tension I feel
Release sets me free
I won't sleep anymore
I'm scared when I close my eyes, you'll be in my dreams
And the river at the bend turns into a sea
I'm in too deep
