Lyrics

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...
