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
