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...
