Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is my time, this is my tear
I can see clearly now that this is not a place for playin' solitaire
Tell me where you want me
This is my time, this is my tear
[Verse 2]
Comin' on strong, Baudelaire
Seems to me like all the world gets high
Or when you take a dare
Let is rise before you, this is my crime
[Verse 3]
All in all and I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end, and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now, because you never know
[Verse 4]
Devil may cry, devil may care
Distiller's got a scream and now I know just why
When she's movin' air
Can you feel the voltage? This is my time
[Verse 5]
California skies got room to spare
This is my time
[Verse 6]
All in all and I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end, and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know
Oh, never know
[Verse 7]
Take it outside, take it out there
Seem to me like all the world gets high
Or when you take a dare
In the final moment, this is my time
[Verse 8]
All in all and I'm
Loving every rise and fall
The sun will make and I will take
Breath to be sure of this
In the end, and then
All will be forgiven when
Surrender rises high and I
Gave what I came to give
Say it now because you never know
Oh, never know
