Time & Tide

There was a time when it was up to me

I had a choice of who I wanted to be

Never been much for the formal so I moved south of normal

Because all I ever wanted to be was free

Now I'm filled with love and songs to sing

But being free has cost me everything

Sometimes I miss who I once was and I say that just because

They didn't know the pain this life would bring

If I could change one thing, I wish I had known

That one day they would leave me on my own

That each day is less forgiving, and I'd be grieving for the living

And that I'd want to shed this flesh and bone

One day this will be over

The only thing that I don't want is to regret

I feel all of my chances slip away

They say the time and the tide, they wait for no man

Hope you forgive me because I won't forget

I won't forget

And I hope one day you remember

That you won't look back at this all with regret

And I know someday all the words we'll learn again

They say the time and the tide, they wait for no man

You can forgive

I hope you won't forget

I wont forget

I can see my house from here

Gives me a reason to breathe

That day I just wanted to be me

I wont forget

You don't know what's in my heart but I can show you

I hope that's enough in the end

Cause this is all we are

Sound the alarm

Leave your mark inside a song

I wont forget

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

You'll never know how much this means

I won't forget
