Starin' at a hole in the ceiling Waitin' 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 goin' nowhere Waited at the side of the stage There must've been a reason, I can't recall The time it slipped away Devil at the side of my shoulder Leanin' in to watch the mistakes Waitin' 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 goin' 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
