Inside everyone hides one desire
Outside no one would know
Danger close to the edge of the knife
Safer not to let go
And while we miss chances
You can almost hear time slipping away:
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes to time slipping away
No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine
She knows just what to say
While no one listens
You can almost hear time slipping away
We close our eyes we never lose a game
Imagination never lets us take the blame
We close our eyes to see the final frame
We close our eyes and...
We can talk to strangers
We are burning with the spark
And we can walk on water
We are tigers in the dark
We are burning!
Heroes never give in to the night
He knows how far he can run
And as he surrenders
You can almost hear time slipping away...
