lyrics

time is such a funny thing when all you do is wait and play these silly games when all I want to do is sing you say I was born too late

childlike we stop and stare
at all those things we mustn’t dare
but those nursery rhymes were full of lies
and I’m trying to connect the dots
but it all comes at such a cost and who am I
to throw it all away

lately I’ve been running around in circles
one step foreword two steps back & around again
but all those things that’ll hurt ya, they’ll be waiting around the bend

childlike we stop and stare
at all those things we mustn’t dare
but those nursery rhymes were full of lies
and I’m trying to connect the dots
but it all comes at such a cost and who am I
to throw it all away

each night I go to sleep and I close my eyes
I see your face and it reminds me of the times and places that we’ve been

but baby they had plans for you and I wish that I could have made true the wishes that we’d made along the way
lately I’ve been running round in circles
wonder how many times I’ve stumbled blindly for the light
