Real Contender

How they hang around, like echoes in a chamber

Floating in and out from minor into major

Wanted you to feel like you could really trust me but maybe

I just don't deserve it

But when you think it through

I'm hoping that you

Realize that I have always been beside you

Sand between our fingers

Time is always movin' along

(Here and then it's gone)

I wanna be a real contender

Whether you see it or not

I know it's in there

Somewhere this thing that we got

For once in my life I am sure of something

For once in my life I am sure of something

I know my eyes deceive a brief and fleeting failure

They want what they don't need

I try to see it clearer

Changin' of the seasons

Time is always creepin' along

(Here and then it's gone)

I wanna be a real contender

Whether you see it or not

I know it's in there

Somewhere this thing that we got

For once in my life I am sure of something

For once in my life I am sure of

Something there I should've noticed yesterday

But now my heart won't let me see it any other way

So I wanna be a real contender

Whether you see it or not

I know it's in there

Somewhere this thing that we got

For once in my life I am sure of something

For once in my life I am sure of something

For once in my life I am sure of something

For once in my life I am sure of something
