0:05I've noticed, people, they all have motives.
0:07Different, yet all the same.
0:10I fumble through every word that was spoken,
0:17And I barely knew your name.
0:20I'm tongue-tied, it runs through my blood and my insides;
0:27Some things we can't escape.
0:30But if we try, if we try, we can leave this behind.
0:37It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for.
0:43A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all?"
0:50Your eyes wide, always ahead of the curve type,
0:56Quiet, and confident.
0:58Oh, we stood there, awkward and youthful, we tangled;
1:05A piece of my soul escaped.
1:09Oh, we are restless and tired of sleeping with giants,
1:14A modern mankind with their egos of fire and it seems like
1:18It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we've waited for.
1:23A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all?"
1:30Are we wasting time or is it wasting us?
1:37It's been a lifetime waiting for now, now.
1:43Well, you've got to find a way,
1:47You've got to find a way,
1:50You've got to find a way,
1:53You've got to find a way,
1:56You've got to find a way before you fold.
2:02It's been a lifetime, a lifetime I've been waiting for.
2:21A simple question, kid, "are you with me or not at all?"
2:28It's been a lifetime, a lifetime we waited for.
2:34I need an answer, kid, you're either with me or not at all, no, no.
2:41Are we wasting time or is it wasting us?
2:47It's been a lifetime, a lifetime, a lifetime, lifetime, yeah.
2:54Well, you've got to find a way,
2:57You've got to find a way,
3:01You've got to find a way,
3:04You've got to find a way.
3:07Son you've got to find a way,
3:10You've got to find a way,
3:13You've got to find a way before you fold.
