For a Change

We used to be useless

We lied all the time

Entwined with each other

Like two flames of the same fire

High on darkness, engulfed in our lives

Two drunks on vacation

We couldn't get any higher

We sat with each other

Out under the stars

No space for our journey

But where were we going

We walked on the beach

Tasted the sun

It's living and breathing

The things that evolved

From the past that dissolved

In the tears we were weeping

We had time on our side, for a change

We had time on our side, for a change

We had time on our side, for a change

You took all my feelings and rubbed them all out

Like chalk on a blackboard that sums up all of our meaning

Lost in anger, in fear of our lives

Our love in remission

It couldn’t get any colder

The kids were not born but the cord had been torn

In the tears we were weeping

We had time on our side

We had love in our soul

There was passion for life for a change

I was fleeced like a lamb

By the wolf from your womb

I was gone from my world for a change

We were lost in our hearts

With no reason to be

No new pressure in life for a change

Then our souls run away

And we let them escape

We could walk from ourselves for a change
