lyrics

You watch time filling up,
You watch it empty out and spill into your day
Think of all the words we spoke
And all the words we wish we found the strength to say
So you hide the truth behind blue eyes
And hope your breath will find a way
And you take a mental picture
Hang it on a promise of another day

There's a window to the world outside
It opens up and lets the sun shine in
Like a hole in the wall,
It's a crack in the shield of my tough skin
We're playing like we're devils
But there's diamond where the rough has worn thin
And there's no turning back
You cannot take away or change where you have been

Clear water, clear head
Smooth waves up ahead
With the wind neath my back and the sun in my face
I keep thinking back to what she said, she said
…
With the sand neath your feet and blue skies up above
You tell those clouds to push on through, and fill up on love

The wind it will not wait
It carries off my thoughts like grains of sand
Falling off of the horizon
They disappear into no man's land
I start thinking of my life
And how it fits inside the palm of your hand
You can practice what you preach
But it don't mean you get what you demand
