lyrics

When will there be enough time
to hear you out, and express myself, too?
Everyone is speaking together
but no one is getting through

I make a mad rush of words
'til I'm blue in the face,
but there's no time in between
so you can't feel my space

And even if we set aside a Saturday
we'd have a table full of food
and nothing to say

We make a rush with the knives
we try to see the other side
but what we do tomorrow
changes what we say tonight

And I won't stop till I know you
though it takes my life
when everything's been said
I'll be satisfied

I've got no time
no time left for you
I'm on my way
so they say
to better things

And I swear some day
I'll break out of this skin
to be the weightless fire
that I should have been

Only then can you know me as I really am
as we start off where we left off
and try it again
