The lines have been drifting
Drifting for days, I try to remember
The walls have been shifting
Seen throught the haze, the 1st of forever
Be sure your time will come

I’ve been keeping my distance
Staying away from arms that would be hold me
Splitting the difference
Counting the ways to let you down slowly
But now your time has come
Now your time has come
Before this day is done

Cos I’m up to my eyes with your innocent smile
Your sweetness can drive me away
No one can tell me I haven’t been nice
But welcomes can be overstayed
There’s a mountain of anger thet no one can see
Twisting around in my brain
So that someone like you can take someone like me
And gradually drive them insane

Does it been ugly
Always the same, makes me colder and colder
Can I never been friendly
Anger and pain is always the answer
So now your time has come
Before this day is done

Cos I’m up to my eyes with your innocent smile
Your sweetness can drive me away
No one can tell me I haven’t been nice
But welcomes can be overstayed
There’s a mountain of anger thet no one can see
Twisting around in my brain
So that someone like you can take someone like me
And gradually drive them insane
