Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel sorrow for the fear
And everything it brings
Wonder if it will ever sleep
I know you understand
'Cause you briefly look away
Focusin' on nothin', so now
[Verse 2]
Everything is clear
[Verse 3]
'Cause there's no one to blame
You got no place to hide
It's only in your mind
And I saw you
In amazement
Stumblin' through the day
You told me, "Time never waits"
What is that supposed to mean?
[Verse 4]
All of life
Is in one drop of the ocean
Waitin' to go home
Just waitin' to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides, it can pull the tears
And take 'em from our eyes
And make 'em into monsoons
[Verse 5]
And turn 'em into mon-
[Verse 6]
Sooner or later
They'll weave their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Yeah, free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow
Always do, all in due time
'Cause time never wait
[Verse 7]
Daddy, don't daydream again
Just help me to believe, and then
Show me that there's more than the meantime
Sonny, do you hear the sound?
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when it's gone
[Verse 8]
How else can I explain?
[Verse 9]
'Cause it's only the pain
It's comin' straight through
Comin' to remind
Crosscut to you
In amazement
Stumblin' through the day
You tell me, "Time never waits"
That's okay, 'cause I don't wait for time
[Verse 10]
When all of life
Is in one drop of the ocean
Waitin' to go home
Just waitin' to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides, it can pull the tears
And take 'em from our eyes
And turn 'em into monsoons
[Verse 11]
Make 'em into mon-
[Verse 12]
Sooner or later
They'll weave their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Yeah, free for a while
Until they break
Mm, like waves of sorrow
Always break all into time
'Cause time never wait
