There's only so much juice
You can suck out of a fruit
And the color changes fast
When an apple's cut in half
Every letter ends somewhere
Better time its steps with care
I'll be the one who waits too long
Turns around and finds it gone
Choose the life you want to live
Give the love you want to give
Take the moment when it comes
Let it lead you let it run
Feel the moisture in the air
Feel her fingers through your hair
Don't be shy when asking to
Be that way (you always were meant to)
You say that life is long
You took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long, and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
Given shelter, blessed by rain
To our common unknown aim
Through the north side of the town
To the south where we laid down
All the floodlights but no stars
And the people without cars
Where I ask you without sound
Where you answer without words
Do them all as written down
When you close your eyes you find
You can prophesize the steps
You can visualize the maps
If you act upon it when
theres no trace of doubt within
When your heart is freshly stung
You cannot fail, you cannot act wrong
You say that life is long
You took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long, and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
You say that life is long
You took the words
Out of my mind
Life is long, and the world is small
Our paths will cross some other time
