Anytime Soon

When you walk out of the room

I tend to assume you won’t be walking back in again anytime soon

When you walk out of the room

Go right on ahead, I’m glad it’s you and not me instead

Cause I won’t go that far

We’re here, and here we are, my friend

I’ve got no plans to pass this way again anytime soon

When you step out of sight

I want to make sure that you’re going to be all right

And all that time that we’ve got

Not nearly enough, though we act as though we’ve got a lot

And I can’t see the day

We’re here and now, not miles away

No one wants to hear it said anytime soon, anytime soon

Don’t hold your breath

It’s all that’s left

(Trying to get through to you somehow, some way, can you hear me now, can you hear me now)

And all that time that we lost

Add it up it’s all just part of paying the cost

This is a finite place in which we live, we just

Occupy a space until we take a little less than we give

And then make no mistake,

We’re here and gone, we are, my friend

The time that we thought would never end

The moments of sun and sky and sand

When the laughter flowed like wine

I was yours and you were mine

And all we had was time, time, time

Then you walked out of the room
