Only If We Learn Lyrics

Is it giving up or giving in?
Living our lives left unattended
is a cardinal sin.
We can trace it back through the years
we could pin every hope on the future
and conceal the tears
but we are the ones to blame.
"Never again," we cry
"please open our eyes to the world we're setting alight."
Pray to God to put it to right.

Time will wait for no one
but itself, but itself
time after time.

As the hands unwind

minutes and hours pass,
we find ourselves, find ourselves
committing the crime.

Time will be the end of us all

Is the life we treasure
poured out in equal measures?
I guess we'll never know.
When they take the sun out from the sky
will we complain that there's no light to shed
on what we've don't to ourselves?
I've got a reason to believe
something could save us from our reprieve
but only if we learn
from pages that we've turned.
Get ready to sink or swim
we're dancing on land-mines treading water again.

Time will wait for no one
but itself, but itself
time after time.

As the hands unwind

minutes and hours pass,
we find ourselves, find ourselves
committing the crime.
Time will be the end of us all

Is the life we treasure
poured out in equal measures?
equal measures

Push it under the carpet
put it out from your sight.
Sweep it under the carpet
pray that everything is alright.

alright!!!
alright!!!

Time never ends it carries on
ticking away inside this time bomb
over and over again until we're gone.

Time will be on our side.
Time will be on our side.
