311 - Time Is Precious

Watching the ice melt between us
Just faster than grass grows
It's not the best that we've seen us
But nothing else I'd have chose

Reminds me of a time
When anything could have come
Anything could have happened
What a fantastic feeling

Time is precious as you say it is
I wanna know that we didn't miss
It goes by quickly you'll soon find out
I won't go down
Time is precious as you say it is
I wanna know that we didn't miss
It goes by quickly you'll soon find out

When you fight to resist
Emotion with a fist
An irresistible force will always
Prevail

The fortress goes crumbling down
Around you where you stand
What was once strong mortar
Is now a pile of sand

Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
I won't go down
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now

From reckless to recluse
And sometimes back again
Left wondering what's the use
Of a life of mischief spent

Makes cool the desert sun
The piece of mind that you gave me
Absolve me for things I've done
Only that can, only that can save me

Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
I won't go down
Time is just as precious as you say it is
I wanna spend it and know that we didn't miss
I've dodged so many bullets that I'm careful now
