Holding out all my fears and faults Those that conquer me Started the second pack 'Fore the first one's finishin' I like to bridge the gap between A break and long-lost lovers Only to get me by until I decide I've had enough Most of the time, I can feel them on me The eyes from the stranger's window It's dark and it's lonely, but it's nothin' to me At least somebody's home Decades are wastin' on your name You'll grasp the concept of life When you give up the point of tryin' If you don't do the things that you do They'll just happen to you Pulling out all my weight And do my part and you'll say "Oh, I'm so glad you're here with us today You probably thought you would be gone" And until there's another way I just have to face that there's no real place To go and I could really be alone I'd promise you now that if I had known I wouldn't be standing here There's memories to be made And water that's to wade I used it all up drying tears Of course I don't regret The moments where I wept And yearned for what I've got now It's only time, it won't age like wine But it's mine and I'll take the blow
