"The Time It Slipped Away" lyrics

Staring at a hole in the ceiling
Waiting for a sign of the rain
Stuck inside the fear that it won't be long
The time it slipped away
The time it slipped away
The time it slipped away
The time it slipped away

Spent a lot of time going nowhere
Waited at the side of the stage
There must have been a reason I can't recall
The time it slipped away
Devil at the side of my shoulder
Leaning in to watch the mistakes
Waiting for the moment it goes all wrong
The time it slipped away

Everything that you are or wanted to be
Is gonna make up a star eventually
Never too late to start
Yeah, 'cause we all need a little change

The fight no one else will remember
Vendetta all the way to the grave
Wasting and replacing the finer thoughts
The time it slipped away

Everything that you are or wanted to be
Is gonna make up a star eventually
So take a break from your war
Yeah, 'cause we all need a little change

Stranded on a rock going nowhere
Floating through the blanket of space
Staring down the end of the universe
The time it slipped away

I'm sorry, but it's only forever
Live it up or throw it away
Shouldn't need a reason, just make your own
The time it slipped away

Everything that you are (Eventually)
Everything that you want (Eventually)
Everything that you lost (Eventually)
Everything that you need (Eventually)
Everything you believe (Eventually)
It's gonna make up a star (Eventually)
So take a look where you are
Yeah, 'cause we all need a little change
