once.

, and if you have something to say
you'd better say it now

i wonder if you could ever despise me
when you know i really try to be a better one
to satisfy you for your everything to me
and i’ll do what you ask me

if you’ll let me be...
free

so, if you want something
and you call, call
then i'll come running to fight,
and i'll be at your door
when there's nothing worth running for

the volunteer is slowing down

and taking time to save himself
(...)

so plant the thought and watch it grow

wind it up and let it go

i'm on my knees in front of him

but he doesn't seem to see me

with all his troubles on his mind

he's looking right through me

(...)

looking at you leaving, i'm looking for a sign...

work, work, brighten the corners that will never see

untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean

~i hope that the answer doesn't come too late~

and what chance had we got when you missed every shot for me

and in the morning when you're turning, i'll be out of reach

and in the darkness when you find this, i'll be far to sea

take this sinking boat and point it home
we've still got time

.
