Time Bomb

Can you let go
of something you know like a number
everyday spaces jammin' up the flow

Maybe I'll tire soon of the mire of longing
what's in the place there couldn't be alone
Christ its a long day out

Wasn't making good time
when I made up my mind to take a wrong way
Taking back steps two at a time

If you put me off again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
You never know, you never know
Christ its a long day out

Forces at work
know me for working like a whipped dog
are they turning a tide
to see if I'll ride another time bomb

But if you never come 'round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do
you never know, you never know

Got me one time, I give in for love
got me two times, I give in for nothing

Living with you
I found twenty new ways to be lonely
I say its high time to pray for a new day
Daddy I was right
take a year of my life to think it over
now stranger than true, it faded my hope for you

But if you never come 'round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do
you never know, you never know

Hangin' at old Simon's over the avenue
all my keys out
Could you see it from my side
but maybe you won't
