Lyrics A Common Year

A Common Year

Time Is On Your Side

Call off the guards

It's hard enough to

Get you alone as it is

Turn off the camera

And start acting natural

Let me see who you truly are

So what's the difference

Between who you are

And who you should be?

I tried my hardest

To break you out of

The shell you're hiding in

Patient love it never works out

It never grows from what you plant

The only option is acting on instinct

But even then there's no promises

You tell me "Time is on your side

Just sit back and relax

I'll call you when I've had time to think"

But I spend a day watching

I spend a day waiting

Soon I'll have nothing left to spend

So what's the difference

Between who you are

And who you should be?

I tried my hardest

To break you out of

The shell you're hiding in
