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

I know I'm just second nature to you My thoughts embellish all the little things that you do Until you left me high and dry I swore I'd never let you down But your silence was the only sound Alone conversating with your ghost in my room My heart torn by the shadows that forever consume The dying embers of a fire you sparked I swore I'd set myself aflame To forsake damnation and feel your burn again We forged our love with simple mysteries All of my worldly pleasures buried in you Just reveal my time here as obsolete And if I pinned you down to the wrestling mat You know exactly where I'd touch you at Destroy my life or set me free I'm bound, captivated with the slightest of ease Deep down tantalizing with your skeleton key But the locks and lies you left were your design I swore I'd trap myself inside Until you'd be my lonely, my one and only pal We forged our love with simple mysteries All of my worldly pleasures buried in you Just reveal my time here as obsolete And if that's where the heart attacks Then that's exactly where I'm at Destroy my life or set me free You can talk if you want to I don't mind if you do You can talk if you want Cause I've been talking too You can talk if you want to I don't mind if you do You can talk if you want Cause I've been talking too I've been talking too I've been talking too
