this is time
I can read the sign
time for my character to
fade out with style
dance the closing number
smile to the crowd
say my last line
and gently bow
'cause I have been around
I've seen many things
that most of the people
will find them terrifying
but right now I can't cry
so take me
where's there's no one around
and you don't hear the sound
of the big fat crowd
will you take me where you don't hear a sigh
'cause I know this time
we can learn and make better mistakes
better mistakes
better mistakes
your boat is sinking
there's fire on the floor
but you can go down smiling
because I'm your new home
this is the day when you stop
being a blind matador
always fighting back to square one with more broken bones
'cause you've been around
I can read in your eyes
you've been to the edge of yourself
and somehow made it back
and you don't have to explain
I'll take you where there's no one around
and you don't hear the sound
from the big fat crowd
and I'll take you where you don't hear a sigh
because I know this time
we can learn and make better mistakes
better mistakes
better mistakes
better mistakes
better mistakes
better mistakes
better mistakes
we should learn
we should learn
we can learn
to make better mistakes
