[Verse 1]
We used to be useless
We lied all the time
Entwined with each other
Like two flames of the same fire
High on darkness, engulfed in our lives
Two drunks on vacation
We couldn't get any higher
[Verse 2]
We sat with each other
Out under the stars
No space for our journey
But where were we going
We walked on the beach
Tasted the sun
It's living and breathing
[Pre-Chorus]
The things that evolved
From the past that dissolved
In the tears we were weeping
[Chorus]
We had time on our side, for a change
We had time on our side, for a change
We had time on our side, for a change
[Verse 2]
You took all my feelings and rubbed them all out
Like chalk on a blackboard that sums up all of our meaning
Lost in anger, in fear of our lives
Our love in remission
It couldn’t get any colder
[Pre-Chorus]
The kids were not born but the cord had been torn
In the tears we were weeping
[Chorus]
We had time on our side
We had love in our soul
There was passion for life for a change
I was fleeced like a lamb
By the wolf from your womb
I was gone from my world for a change
We were lost in our hearts
With no reason to be
No new pressure in life for a change
Then our souls run away
And we let them escape
We could walk from ourselves for a change
