/// Lyrics:
God, I’m getting so tired of this rain
By late December I’m already dying to get away
But I’ve got work here and that’s more than some can say
Better quit my complaining and behave
I used to dream, but now I only sleep
At least now when I wake up you’re lying next to me
Once I was alone on a tightrope walking
Sometimes I hear that old voice talking
“Man, you’re running out of time
There are people out here willing to bleed.”
But I gave it my best shot
I’m okay with being no one
If I’m someone to you
These days that gets me through
The years stretch out behind me like a reel of faded tape
I’m terrified of looking back and facing my mistakes
But every misstep that I took led me to this place
I ain’t concerned much anymore with winning any race
Lately home’s the only thing that preoccupies my thoughts
I’m still writing songs, but not at any cost
I’m just trying to make up for time lost
Baby, I’m so happy our paths crossed
‘Cause I was running out of time
A prisoner of illusions and dreams
But I gave it my best shot
I’m okay with being no one
If I’m someone to you
These days that gets me through
Used to be I was consumed by a need
For leaving my mark on this world
Now I’m only concerned with one thing
And that’s you and me, girl
No more running out of time
Because of you, I’m finally free
To give it my best shot
I’m okay with being no one
If I’m someone to you
These days that gets me through
These days that gets me through
These days that gets me through
These days that’s what I choose
