Oh, lately I've been trying so damn hard to get away
Because living in this city makes me weaker every day
Being constantly surrounded by people, noise and cars
Makes me hunger for a field beneath a big expanse of stars
And I told myself I'd be just fine in the days before you left
But reality is sinking in and now I feel bereft
Of a reason to think anything will ever be worthwhile
So I'm hoping someday soon I'll find my own reason to smile
Cuz sometimes I get so sad I wish my tears would turn to rain
And that the storm that I've created comes to wash us all away
Leveling the city, 'til there's nothing left but seeds
From which will sprout a forest, oh, the perfect place for me
And baby, we've got time
Oh, you know, we've got the rest of our lives
And baby, we've got time
If we want to
And I know that it's unhealthy to stay cooped up in my room
And I know that you don't mean it when you say that we'll talk soon
But that's okay, cuz life is long
And until that time I will stay strong
Well but some days are worse than others, and I'll readily admit
That despite moments of clarity, I often feel like shit
Like right now I feel okay enough to write these stupid lines
But goddammit if I don't just get so lonely sometimes
And baby, we've got time
Oh, you know, we've got the rest of our lives
And baby, we've got time
If we want to
