Time
Sounding alarm
Somewhere far
Something is wrong
Needs to be fixed
Only time heals
Time is all we don't have
The timers clicking down
All the lights are red now
I found you kneeling
On a New York street and
All the people
Just stepped over you
Don't kneel too long
Girl
You'll hurt yourself
Don't kneel too long
They'll see you
Your insides
Are falling out
Outside of yourself
And no one knows who you are
But I do, I do
This place cuts
Because it's new
This place hurts us
Because it's new
One day we'll look back
Not too far back and smile
We did it
HE helped us
And we did it
