The ink on your skin isn't getting any more relevant
The tension in the room, well, it's bigger than an elephant
Time passes slowly, and then it speeds up
The wake-up is rude, and always abrupt
Mistakes have been made, opportunities misused
Hearts have been broken, if not downright abused
If you know now what you didn't know then
Surely you can keep it from happening again
You know how they say we're all trying our best?
And to count all the ways that you've been blessed?
Time passes slowly, and then it speeds up
You've gotta forgive, and that is enough
