the world keeps turning whether you like it or not
even the greatest are racing against the clock tick tock
the sun's always out when you get above the clouds
and no matter how loud you get you get got

i know how you feel you wanna bring 'em back today
you wanna rage on the gates throwin peter out the way
but no matter what you do no matter what you say
that angel's gone away
save their memory not in vain spread their claim
speakin of the people that are tired of the pain
gotta play the game with no relativity there's only mundane
things are gonna change

oh my soul craves your face
oh my heart don't beat the same
oh how my soul craves your face
and my heart it don't beat the same

i wish i could wash your name off my tongue
using whiskey but that's risky
i tried to wipe my mind of our time together
i shoulda known better than try to find you inside a bottle of wine
all the time that we wasted wasted
face it not a second that we would trade in

ain't got a bit of remorse no horse of a different color
no longer a lover father or mother
no shame for the days we spent gettin bent
but i wish i had another feel like a fish outta water
this coulda been your son or daughter
fallen with honor lost but not a goner no
don't bother pretending you're not a better person
for simply knowing that beautiful bird

the world keeps turning whether you like it or not
even the greatest are racing against the clock tick tock
the sun's always out when you get above the clouds
and no matter how loud you get you get got
