lyrics

Well I can see
That I’m too young, this point of view is not for me
My future’s heavy with the things that I can be
But that won’t change my heart
And I can’t change my heart

With the come and go
The wax and wane of all these things we used to know
We wanted freedom, but now we’re reaping what we sow
And I can feel the heat blow in
I feel the heat blow in

Time’s no friend of mine
Like a house fire slowly burning up into the night
I'll just grab what I can see before the flames can reach my feet and drag me under
And drag me under

Well just pull me along
Now I’m comfortable, but everything is wrong
I stand and wait around for a better sounding song
When I could just change my tune
Yeah, I should just change my tune

To wake up with you
The thing that’s motivating most of what I do
But like the rest, I’ll have to wait to see it through
And I feel the heat blow in
It’s burning on my skin

Time’s no friend of mine
Like a house fire slowly burning up into the night
I'll just grab what I can see before the flames can reach my feet and drag me under
And drag me under

I know I can hold out until I run
I’ll just sit and hold my breath; no I won’t breathe until I’m done
'Cause if I lose myself before I reach this shore
Then I'll just die at twenty-five but live to see six decades more

Time’s no friend of mine
Like a house fire slowly burning up into the night
I'll just grab what I can see before the flames can reach my feet and drag me under
And drag me under
