you'll miss it when it's gone

you're not scared at all are you
you'll just keep doing what you do
you think i'll always be here waiting
but in the background i am fading
i can't be here anymore
but i cannot find the door

hold your breath
count to ten
don't give up
just do it again
(x2)

the little boy in my arms
i hope he travels to the stars
with his bright eyes and his charm
there is nothing stopping him
he can't stay here too long
but the timing is all wrong

hold your breath
count to ten
don't give up
just do it again
(x2)

the homeless man across the street
i gave him some food to eat
but he was picky and he spit it
out across my feet
beggars can't be choosers
otherwise we'd all be losers

hold your breath
count to ten
don't give up
just do it again
(x2)

you're not scared at all are you
you'll just keep doing what you do
you think i'll always be here waiting
but in the background i am fading
i can't be here anymore
watch me walk right out the door...

the hardest part (not finished)

the fast lights
the bright cars
the strong drinks
we'll make ours
the best in the world
our time is
just wasting
away and
we're pacing
just to make it last
but it won't last long
no we won't last long

running and
jumping and
breaking through
walls that we've built
everyone
knows that
the rules are
for breaking
just don't let them break you back
don't worry i'll be back

the hardest part of laughing is living
the hardest part of living is loving
the hardest part of loving is laughing
so laugh when it's not funny
love when they don't love you back
live even when you're dying
pretend there is nothing that you lack and
hold
on
tight
