lyrics

this is the time, when all that’s come to past is left to rest,
if there’s a chance, if we could leave it all and start again
I don’t mind, waste my time

You’re out of line, you take offense, accuse me of this
But it takes two, to get us in and out, of this mess
I never knew, what was going on, just like you

this city life, you cannot see the trees for the concrete
just think of you, and no one else will do, but is that healthy?
don’t slow down, hit the town

just keep abreast, of urban loneliness, by staying out
don’t think too much, of what’s been and gone and just the now.
it’s not that bad, it’s lighter in the tunnel now

I don’t mind, waste my time, don’t slow down, hit the town.
