lyrics

No white lines and a name you call when you're not around
No bright mind's gonna frame your fall when you hit the ground
No right time to ignore advice that you haven't found
So just keep searching, my friend

No one stares at the hourglass that you're looking through
No one cares 'til the hours pass into something new
No one dares ever ask themselves what they're gonna do
Until it's over again

There's a light in your eye
It's not even shining
And the thoughts you pass by
Are the ones that I hide on

And how long will it shine on?
It's all wrong
it's already gone

Some might say if you act this way then you really try
I don't know cause the words come slow and I'm not gonna lie
There's been days when I feel like I'm just not the guy
Since the journey's begun

And on it goes and it just goes on and it isn't fair
Cause no one knows but the path they chose and the laughs they share
Maybe one day I'll look up and see you there
Standing in the sun

There's a light in your eye
It's not even shining
And the thoughts you pass by
Are the ones that I hide on

And how long will it shine on?
It's all wrong
it's already gone
