Before I Go

Take my hand
Let's pretend we'll never leave this world underneath our feet
Let's pretend that we can still fulfill the dreams that we once had when we were kids
So we can look back without the fear of that ominous birthday gift you receive every year
I want to look back and see that life was not a pool of bad decisions but an image of perfect bliss

The only thing I see
Is what I'll never be
The only thing I know
Is time takes and then it goes

The only thing I see
Is what I'll never be

The only thing I know
Is time takes and then it goes
All these roads, all these different routes, will they lead us to joy
Or should we regret the things we did, the words we said, until we're dead

The only thing I see
Is what I'll never be
The only thing I know
Is time takes and then it goes

The only thing I see
Is what I'll never be
The only thing I know
Is time takes and then it goes

Hold on
Wait for me I want to come along
Hold on
I just need some time to put on my shoes
The only thing I see
Is what I'll never be
The only thing I know
Is what time takes away before I go
