You feel the world is rushing by you
While you're waiting for someone to understand
You tend to see love as an island
Where hopes like words are written in the sand
When the only door sends you back
Nothing you live for, ever lasts

[Chorus:]

Every second's so slow, every hour's so low
You wanna put your arms around someone who doesn't wanna let you go
When the love you're in, baby just can't win,
It doesn't mean you're meant to alone
'Cause the grass will grow, and the river will flow,
And your heart will know

You feel you're watching through a window,
I know what you want is just beyond your touch
Your heart flies any way the wind blows, while everybody else is finding love
You're one sweet thing, your light of day,
It was all you live for, turned away

[Chorus]

One day everything may change,
The sun will shine, the day will come to greet you
All the rain will blow away,
When at last you find someone who needs you, needs you, yeah
Gotta trust the things you feel, when you do,
You know your heart will guide you

Now you wait for the sun, and the morning to come
When you can put your arms around someone who's never gonna let you go
When the love you're in, baby just can't win,
It doesn't mean you're meant to alone
'Cause the grass will grow, and the river will flow,
And your heart will know
The grass will grow, the river will flow
And your heart will know
