lyrics

You see with clouded vision already made your decision
Giving me the cold wind gaze
But people like you dry out with the morning dew
Your memory hits me like a summer haze

Your life has been sized and I find myself surprised
That I feel like I can read your mind
I'm not saying that I'm wise but sometimes my mind flies
And time is love of a different kind

And time is what you need to get your mind freed
But thinking is something for which you never had a care
Well thinking is free so start your shopping spree
And find that to you I was always more than fair

In your stubborn little way you could ruin somebody's day
Was it always worth it to have the last word?
I don't say much to you I'll say you've lost touch
Talking a lot don't guarantee you're being heard

And people do talk like birds in a flock
Squawking in the trees until they grow weary
You're a bird without wings you talk about all sorts of things
Just a bird with a big vocabulary

Bring your mouth to a crawl
Think and you shall free fall
Catch on late there ain't no shame in that

You're too many notes in a song
Too many days gone wrong
All the jokes you tell are falling flat

Your life has been sized and I find myself surprised
That I feel like I can read your mind
I'm not saying that I'm wise but sometimes my mind flies
And time is love of a different kind
Time is love of a different kind
