Now I see it, slip slipping away
Sometimes I notice, just how I have aged
Drawing conclusions, in the lines on my face
Run out of fingers trying to count the days
You know what really bothers me the most
I never could allow anything too close
Keep my distance, far behind the lines
Everything's taken, taken away...
In time, I will lose everything I care about
In time, either you or me will have to learn to live without
In time, the coins will overflow the wishingwell
In time, maybe this will all cease to be so unconditional
Unconditional, unconditional
Unconditional
Not so long ago it all seemed viable
But now my theory's so unreliable
There's never any doubt, you can fulfill your dreams
When indestructible, teenage machines
I'm still angry, but now I realise
I see the cycle slowly turning in my eyes
It's irretrievable, so easily won or lost
Like terrafirma, lying dormant in permafrost
In time, I will lose everything I care about
In time, either you or me will have to learn to live without
In time, the coins will overflow the wishingwell
In time, maybe this will all cease to be so unconditional
Unconditional, unconditional
Unconditional
You can only hold on for a short time
'Til your fingers will lessen their grip on the twine
Tired muscles find it hard to cope
Before you know, you're at the end of the rope
There's never gonna be near enough time
You're always gonna be cut down in your prime
I can't afford to let let myself forget
The wheel's in motion, the hourgla** is set
In time, I will lose everything I care about
In time, either you or me will have to learn to live without
In time, the coins will overflow the wishingwell
In time, maybe this will all cease to be so unconditional
Unconditional, unconditional
Unconditional, unconditional
