"My Caroline" lyrics

Eyes of the universe, judge me as you please
While pieces of your world fit together tragically
I'm soaking in the tears You've showered down on me
The waves they create slam together dreadfully
We're left alone to find our way back
Without knowing where we've been
With tiny cracks too small to notice
In the boats we're standing in

My Caroline
Tell me what's it's like running out of time
With no place to hide
How can you be strong
While I'm so torn apart?
The best things always seem to end
Before they even start

Cars come whipping by, nearly missing me
Light passing through in the holes between the leaves
Sleeping underneath the numbers on the wall
Time will wake us up but she won't catch us when we fall
We're left alone to find the answer
Without knowing the question
The speck of hope that I have left
Is getting harder to defend

My Caroline
Tell me what's it's like running out of time
With no place to hide
How can you be strong
While I'm so torn apart?
The best things always seem to end
Before they even start

I'm missing you I'm missing you
I won't see you again
There's nothing left to hold on to
Your last breathe lost in the wind

My Caroline
Tell me what's it's like running out of time
With no place to hide
How can you be strong
While I'm so torn apart?
The best things always seem to end
Before they even start
