Eye to Eye

If we had one more minute in the day

Would you take the time to hear what I say

Could you let your guard fall away

And step across your line

We've only got this one precious life

I don't wanna spend it trying to prove I'm right

I'd rather do the hard work than fight

Are you listening

We are running out of time

Sowing mines in the ground where seeds should go

You've got your limit, I've got mine

What we nurture's what will grow

We are down to the wire

And I don't know

If we can see eye to eye

If we had one more minute in the day

Could we hear the call of our past mistakes

Or are we so caught up in the fray

That we don't recognize the signs

We draw blood with a sharp sound bite

And dodge bullet points from the left and right

But in the silence between the lines

No one's listening

We are running out of time

Sowing mines in the ground where seeds should go

You've got your limit, I've got mine

What we nurture's what will grow

We are down to the wire

And I don't know

If we can see eye to eye

What have I buried, what have I sown

Words I can live by, or grudges I hold

We've harvested fruits of sorrow and war

I can't lay down roots in anger no more

If we had one more minute in the day

Could we slow down, and find a better way

Are we stuck in the narrow place

Pretending no one's afraid

The whole world is a bridge on fire

And we run across as the flames get higher

But who wants to be a survivor

When there's only ashes left behind

We are running out of time

Sowing mines in the ground where seeds should go

You've got your limit, and I've got mine

What we nurture's what will grow

We are down to the wire

One wrong move and the whole thing blows

And I don't know, but I've got hope

That we can see eye to eye

Eye to eye

Eye to eye
