You and j's been sitting by the roadside
For far too long, in this little town
Seems your plan of leaving left u both behind
Your wings are strong, you're still on the ground
Seconds, Hours, minutes they all pa** u by
Above your heads, still an empty sky
Shining shoes or working mines
Is not your favourite waste of time
And never what u had in mind
Gonna have to move on
Or else your life will be gone
Don't set your level too high
Just lower the line of the sky
You missed the bus that never had a stop in your town
Seems it let u down, never came around
No one u knew ever left this place alive
Became husbands and wives, no matter how they strived
Seconds, hours, minutes they all pa** u by
And above your heads, still an empty sky
Shining shoes or working mines
Is not your favourite waste of time
And never what u had in mind
Gonna have to move on
Or else your life will be gone
Don't set your level too high
Just lower the line of the sky
