Game Size

I open my eyes to another day 
To things that I have known,  
things that happen everyday. 
I feel there's a shadow creeping up on me 
The wind blows through the streets 
Telling me something I don't see 

Draw the line, (and) turn the time 
Taking back what was mine 
Now I could change almost anything 
Hold tight, search for the light 
Do I know what's wrong or right 
Put the pieces back where they belong

The air is still, 
A path appears, 
The choice is clear,  
I'm finally here. 

Safely back in your arms...

Long Version

I open my eyes to another day 
To things that I have known,  
things that happen everyday. 
I feel there's a shadow creeping up on me 
The wind blows through the streets 
Telling me something I don't see 

Draw the line, (and) turn the time 
Taking back what was mine 
Now I could change almost anything 
Hold tight, search for the light 
Do I know what's wrong or right 
Put the pieces back where they belong 

The days and the months are drifting by 
As though they didn't notice seasons changing in the breeze 
They all look the same but I sense something's there 
Waiting around the path 
Revealing a truth that I will defend 

Draw the line, (and) turn the time 
Taking back what was mine 
Now I could change almost anything 
Hold tight, search for the light 
Do I know what's wrong or right? 
Put the pieces back where they belong 

In my heavy heart I see the truth,  
no scar ever heals 
They never fade away  
Each and every one... 

It's going to be all right 
Light comes after every night 

Draw the line, (and) turn the time 
Taking back what was mine 
Now I could change almost anything 
Hold tight, search for the light 
Do I know what's wrong or right 
Put the pieces back where they belong 

The air is still, 
A path appears, 
The choice is clear,  
I'm finally here. 

Safely back in your arms...
