A Moment

Breakdown on the wrong side of town

With lights out and no one around

Step out to clear the head

Think about the things left unsaid

When I feel it coming over me

A chill so deep that I can barely breathe

And I’m standing on the waters edge

With the grass so green

I feel it ought to end

Can I have just a moment here

Give me just a moment here

I had a taste for the road

And I left behind all I know

You spend years waiting on a change

To find out your life’s better that way

The faintest voices fill the streets

I argue back but there’s nothing there to beat

Then finally there’s nothing left

A heavy weight released from my chest

Can I have just a moment here

Give me just a moment here

Can I have just a moment here

Give me just a moment here

Have I been losing my voice?

To the world and all it holds

I used to know it’s weight in gold

I tried to see through your eyes

And it led me back

To what I didn’t think I had

And I’d like just a moment here

Give me just a moment here

Can I have just a moment here

Give me just a moment here
