T Minus

I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't make it, move in time
I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't make it, pass me by

As I stand paralysed like stone
And the future just became the day
I wonder what it was I was doing that seemed so urgent
Anyway
As I do everyting but what's important
I slip back into peace
I wonder why I keep on bothering to look back
Endlessly

Everything fast forwards right past me
And all I seem to be able to do is just stand there
And grieve

[pre-chorus]
For myself, for my life,
For the things that feel behind
I couldn't hold on to it all
With so much on my mind
If I picked up another piece
I couldn't keep on juggling
Those I have, without blinking back these tears

[chorus]
(If you), think what you see is real
(If you,) want to know what I believe
(Then come,) and see through me
(The things,) that will never be

As I stand with my jaw hung slack
I realise it's not too late to try
I wonder what will happen if I just let this last deadline
Pass me by
As the water rushes to my lips and I slowly begin to drown
I wonder what took the pressure so long to finally
Break me down

Everything fast forwards right past me
And all I seem to be able to do is just stand there
And grieve

I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't make it, move in time
I can't take it, I can't take it
I can't make it, pass me by

[chorus]

(HEY! Repeated)
It's too late to replay
The future is here, just clear the way
Can't undo your mistakes
The time is now no more delay

I can't take it
I can't make it, move in time
I can't take it
I can't make it, pass me by
