Memorize the Dictionary - Hours Lyrics

Hours drag by over several weeks
Once they're done
We jump ahead to a new set of weeks again
And we skip a whole couple months right when we've finished the day again
And again we wish for those old kinds of weeks
And they're gone
They're gone

I could feel scared but I'll try not to mind
I'd like to remember what made life seem so kind
I won't feel strong until my heart can unwind
The wait can be beautiful if you step out of line

I can't feel what you are feeling now
And that's a hard thing to realize
Too late and in too deep
When I'm not myself
I can't fake a lot of things
I can't become new
I won't change a lot of things
But maybe some for you
Maybe for you

I can't be afraid anymore
I'm not afraid
Something's brought new meaning into punching in today
I can feel some more than the past few days
I can hold my breath and feel less afraid

It may fall away someday
It might not be today
Motivation's not a constant thing
I know you will say
But here now I have a reason to keep driving on
'Cause certain things may keep me to keep walking on
And on and on

But it'll start over
The good and the bad
You may try to shut it out but you'll drive yourself mad
And the hours go by slowly
And the weeks go fast
The seconds count down and then
You'll miss the hours you had
