lyrics

Time, it will equalize, but not before it knocks you down and scrapes your knees and you bleed in the dirt and gloom, or alone feeling sorry in an all-black room. And maybe you spend the next four years starting things and quitting them, trying to make some sense of it. Like all of a sudden the clouds will part and the sky will be bluer than the sun is bright. Time, it will equalize, but not before we lose our minds long enough to make mistakes, fall apart, love and hate. Maybe something happened and it’s too much to bear, and it’s hard to make believe you’re not gasping for air when all you’ve got to do is breathe and count to ten. The problem is it’s probably just in your head, but you don’t have to know what I mean. Time, it will equalize, but not before it knocks you down and scrapes your knees. You will bleed in the dirt and gloom, and spend the next four years trying to count to ten.
