lyrics

Where do we go from here, when we traded our goals for dreams?
Do we keep running around, is everything what it seems?
What happens when tomorrow comes and sweeps beneath your feet,
Do you run from it, or do you run to it?

The world will pass you by, no time to laugh, no time to cry.
Sometimes you think life, move too fast,
But I know better, all things must pass.

I hear your screaming whispers as they're blowing through the air,
No I can't see your face, but I know that you're there.
A glow from a neon sign is bright as day,
In the black out nights, keep a level head,
Don't leave your mind, or the city behind.

The world will pass you by, no time to laugh, no time to cry.
Sometimes you think life, move too fast,
But I know better, all things must pass.
And the world will pass you by, while we're lying here, you and I.
I made up my mind nothing else will do,
I can't keep myself from loving you.

This is love, this is clear, I live for you, but I can't live here
I can't keep slowing down, hoping that you might someday turn around.

The world will pass you by, no time to laugh, no time to cry.
Sometimes you think life, move too fast,
But I know better, all things must pass.
And the world will pass you by, while we're lying here, you and I.
I made up my mind nothing else will do,
I can't keep myself from loving you.
