There’s a coolness in the air now Truth is running down my spine I reach across the pillow But your hand is far from mine The stars are turning pale blue As the morning starts to yawn I tell myself you’re healing But I break before the dawn I know the shock won't last forever And the restless nights will fade But in this early quiet I still feel every shade Oh, I know I won’t feel like this forever But I’m alone in the blue of dawn And oh, ooh ooh Why do I search the horizon line When I know that you’re gone? I’m standing tall as the ache comes on Time is what we keep on fighting Say it’s wrong or say it’s right There’s never any middle Just the passing of the night Time is what we never see What we lose and what we spend Not a prize that we can capture Just the road that always bends We measure love in chances And choosing hours spent And somewhere in the choosing We came to our quiet end Time is the thing we fight Either it’s wrong or it’s right There’s no in-between Time is the thing unseen Time is the thing we need Not a thing we win I guess, it’s time to choose again Morning stars begin to weaken As the cold leans into dawn I’m staring through the window At a world that just moves on You said that you couldn’t stay Didn’t know who you were It felt easier than being lonely Just packed your bag, and shut the door Time is the thing we fought Either it’s right or it’s not There’s no in-between It’s the thing we choose To pay the price, to pay the dues Time is the thing we spend Not a thing we win I guess it’s time to choose again Between what was and what might be It's about time It’s all about time
