When the weight of the world
Is not enough to motivate
And you’re not around
To complicate
Can I have a while
Just enough to feel the day
Slip back and away from me
Falling fast the other way

At the end of it all
I want to participate
But I can’t see how
To concentrate
When I have the time
I don’t feel so far away
From where I'm supposed to be
Then it goes and here I stay
