Few and Far Between

Times are far between and few I bet

We can look upon our lives without regret

Of all the things I have done

You think I'm proud of every one without exception?

'Til you make your peace with yesterday

You'll never build a future, I swear by what I say

Whatever penance you do

Decide what it's worth to you

And then respect it

However long it will take

To weather your mistakes

Why not accept it?

My hands, for now, are tied

I'm a body frozen, I'm a will that's paralyzed

When will you ever set aside your pain and misery?

No matter how I beg, no matter how I wish or plead

You'll never be more than alive

You'll never do more than survive

Until you expect it

Do you want to build a world with our lives?

You better soon decide or you can forget it

My hands, for now, are tied

I'm a body frozen, I'm a will that's paralyzed

'Til you drop that heavy baggage you're dragging behind

There won't be room for us to both go this ride
