Why can't it stay like this forever?
Why does it always have to change?

Everytime you think you've paid the price
Seems you've always got to pay it twice
Everytime you think you're near the end
You turn around and find another ticket

Oh, my love, time is running out
Oh, my love, time is running out

Why must we wait until tomorrow
When we already know the score?

Everytime you think you've paid the price
Seems you've always got to pay it twice
Everytime you think you've got it made
Seems you're only lying in the shade

Everytime you think you've run the course
Seems you've got to ride another horse
Everytime you think you're near the end
You turn around and find another ticket

Oh, my love, time is running out
Oh, my love, time is running out

Why must we wait until tomorrow
When we already know the score?

Everytime you think you've paid the price
Seems you've always got to pay it twice
Everytime you think you've got it made
Seems you're only lying in the shade

Everytime you think you've run the course
Seems you've got to ride another horse
Everytime you think you're near the end
You turn around and find another ticket
