Place & Time

You need to understand what you do to me

I'm not just here for you whenever you decide

And, don't say that you think you can't get through to me

We used to feel so normal

And now you act so formal

You need to understand the way it is for me

I can't commit unless this is for real

You hold my hand; ignore all the complexity

We find a new way to begin

And then the world comes rushing in

Why is this so hard for you

Why is this so hard for you

To understand where I am coming from

It kills me we're so out of synch

It kills me when I start to think

If only you could see me we could just go back and be

In our own place and time

Stop the minutes ticking on

'Til everything else is gone

Our own place and time

A pattern that we can't break

A cosmic connection we can't shake

Why do we keep trying to resuscitate

A feeling that we know we can't survive

Trying to ignore an expiration date

Content to be devoured

By connection that has soured

Why is this so hard for me

Why is this so hard for me

Every time it happens just the same

No matter where or when

It plays out this way again

No matter where we've landed

I always end up stranded

In my own place and time

Stop the minutes ticking on

'Til everything else is gone

Our own place and time

Nothing is automatic

Nothing between us only static

But, where would we be if we had every possibility

What versions of ourselves could finally be aligned

Is there some configuration we can find

Somewhere that's our own place and time

Stop the minutes ticking on

'Til everything else is gone

Our own place and time

A pattern that we can't break

A cosmic connection we can't shake

Our own place and time

But, the minutes will keep ticking on

'Til even the future's gone

Our own place and time

Is a moment we've proven doesn't last

So, let's leave it in the past
