If I could stay just for a minute more
Then I could say all the things I've been saving up for
Never enough time in the day&moments like this
come a moment too late

And, there's so many things that I don't understand
And I'm standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation
Something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time's slippin' away & we don't hardly speak
And I'm feeling so lost deep in my soul

And if I could spend some of the time I'm saving
I can imagine your face the minute you see me
coming home
It's only a dream cos you're far away
And time spent on dreams could be time saved

And there's so many things that I don't understand
And I'm standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation, something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time's slipping away & we don't hardly speak
And I'm feeling so lost deep in my soul

Listen closely tell me everything's alright
I'm putting all of my trust in you
So, please don't let me fall too far tonight

When there's so many things that I don't understand
And I'm standing in line with my open hand
Waiting for some explanation, something to hold onto
And the minutes of the day turn to hours of the week
And time's slipping away & we don't hardly speak
And I'm feeling so lost deep in my soul

And If I could look,
Then I could find
Some of the simple sweet words
That are so hard to speak sometimes
