Lyrics
I?ve told you before
Quit wishing for more
You?ve got what you need, closer
Than the air that you breathe
You toss and you turn
For dreams you yearn
Ain?t got nothin? but a memory
Hopes fade like the ink in your diary
But you?ve got the time 4x
The clock on the wall
Got no sympathy at all
Dreams of what you might have been, way back when
All looked so promising then
Now you sit at the TV
Wishing you were me
I?m the one who is your friend
Enemy excuses will get you in the end
Chorus
Why don?t you listen to the air that you breathe
Why don?t you feel the things that you see
Why don?t you stop and do the things that you are
Feel in your soul and know who you are in your heart
Chorus
