Lyrics
Take all your dreaming and put it in a paper cup
It's time to fill up what you've been thinking of
Take all the love you have and put it on a string
It's time to let go of those lost and forgotten things
There are no accidents on the road of your intent
It's only how your time's been spent
If you think you love me, then say my name again
If you think you need me then I'll be your only friend
There are no accidents on the road of your intent
It's only how our time's been spent
Too much has come between us
We've come too close to the edge
We may just fall off into the bitter end
There are no accidents on the road of your intent
It's only how our times, I said it's only how our time
I say it's only how our time has been spent
