Sooner or later
You're gonna meet the man that burns your hands with fire
But you know he isn't doing what you'd like to
Picking up the reigns and everything they're holdin'
It's a long way down
Sooner or later
That's how it is
Whatever made you think your credit lasts for years
Oh no
Sugar
Am I still the one and only in your garden
Does the thought of me in your dream make you smile
Can I feel a certain distance in between us
Or is this dance only mine
Help me
To remember round and turn another page dear
Did we make a contribution to the pile
Even if it's only one man in his place dear
It will be worthwhile
Sooner than later
How it should be
Time fast became the rarest world commodity
I waste a good thing
Good thing I've stopped
If I try harder is it too late for us all
And in another place
Another time, another space
Is it any easier
Chance
Another chance is all I ask of you
I'd be so different, I'd be so new
You'd love me, you really know you would
Baby
Sooner than later
How it should be
Time fast became the rarest world commodity
I waste a good thing
Good thing I've stopped
If I try harder is it too late for us all
Sooner or later
That's how it is
Whatever made you think your credit lasts for years
I waste a good thing
Good thing I've stopped
If I try harder is it too late for us all
