Time is Precious
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Watching the ice melt between us
Just faster than grass grows
ItÃs not the best that weÃve seen us
But nothing else I'd have chose
Reminds me of a time
When anything could have come
Anything could have happened
What a fantastic feeling
Time is precious as you say it is
I wanna know that we didn't miss
It goes by quickly youÃll soon find out
I wonÃt go down
Time is precious as you say it is
I wanna know that we didnÃt miss
It goes by quickly youÃll soon find out
When you fight to resist
Emotion with a fist
An irresistible force will always
Prevail
The fortress goes crumbling down
Around you where you stand
What was once strong mortar
Is now a pile of sand
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that IÃm careful now
I wonÃt go down
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
From reckless to recluse
And sometimes back again
Left wondering what's the use
Of a life of mischief spent
Makes cool the desert sun
The piece of mind that you gave me
Absolve me for things I've done
Only that can save me
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
I wonÃt go down
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didnÃt miss
IÃve dodged so many bullets that IÃm careful now
