lyrics

You arrive without warning
And your wandering mind
Is taking the next step just after crossing the line
And beyond all of your riches
You will see for yourself
That you're a man just like everyone else

You feel like you're the patron
Of all the good guys you greet
You're walking in the shoes of all the traveller's you meet
And your stories will keep on shining
But when the sun starts to set
You're a man that is easy to forget

You can feel your blood a boiling
With your head held up high
You're the peacemaker's decoy in your own web of lies
And you need another person
To believe your own eyes
You're a man in a stranger's disguise

There's a river running through you
And it won't ever stop
You're either sinking to the bottom or you're floating to the top

And it's a pale realization to conceive being alive
When you can feel your heart a racing leave your troubles behind
And just sink into the shoreline to await the rising tide
You're a man that's got nothing but time
You're a man that's got nothing but time
You're a man that's got nothing but time
