Every time still I find Things don't match up the same First they do, then they don't So we try it again And the hour is close at hand But I can't even get to you And I hope that you'll understand So I can get my message through The hours creeping upon you Heads you win Tails you lose But you don't get to choose If I could, then I would But I know that I can't The hour is close at hand But I can't even get to you But I hope that you'll understand So I can get my message through The hours creeping upon you And I'm only living Only giving this today And I feel forgiven For giving it all away See I live today And you live your way Take a chance Cast your line Who knows what you might find With some luck You might hook What you need from this life And the hour is close at hand But I can't even get to you And I hope that you'll understand So I can get my message through The hours creeping upon you The hours creeping upon you The hours creeping upon you The hours creeping upon you The hours creeping upon you The hours creeping upon me
